Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Softened, at room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • to taste flaky sea salt (for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the soft butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy and light, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring, ensuring not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
  7. Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until they look slightly underbaked in the center.
  8. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can substitute cocoa powder with carob powder, though the flavor will differ. Adding nuts or espresso powder can enhance the crunch and flavor respectively. If your dough is too soft, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes.
