Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter Melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips Optional add-in for extra chocolate flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until bubbly but not burnt. Optionally, let it brown slightly for a nutty flavor.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sugar. Allow to cool slightly before adding the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (178°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving space in between.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges look set but the centers are still gooey.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough enhances flavor and texture. Use high-quality chocolate to improve flavor. You can also add nuts, caramel bits, or espresso for variations.
