Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions
 

  • Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Chill the Dough:
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Shape the Cookies:
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the Cookies:
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are crinkly and set. The centers will still be soft.
  • Add Sea Salt:
  • Immediately sprinkle the tops with a pinch of sea salt flakes while the cookies are warm.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
