Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Optional

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Allow to cool slightly to avoid curdling the eggs in the next step.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly fluffy to incorporate air for a tender texture.
  4. Combine Chocolate Mixture: Gradually stir the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the wet ingredients, ensuring an even blend without cooking the eggs.
  5. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and cocoa.
  6. Mix Dry into Wet: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet chocolate mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain fudginess.
  7. Add Optional Chocolate Chips: Fold in the additional 1/2 cup chocolate chips if using, to enhance the chocolate texture and flavor.
  8. Shape Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them adequately to allow for gentle spreading during baking.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and fudgy. This ensures a chewy texture with a slightly crisp edge.
  10. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, preventing breakage and ensuring proper texture.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overbake. The cookies should look slightly underdone in the center for maximum fudginess.
  • You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate according to your preference.
  • Let the melted chocolate mixture cool slightly before mixing with eggs to avoid curdling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Optional chocolate chips can be omitted for a smoother cookie texture.
