Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (130g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (90g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3.5 ounces (100g) high-quality dark chocolate, chopped and melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes) so it’s warm but not hot.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar-egg bowl while mixing gently. It should look glossy and rich.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Don’t overmix; stop as soon as no flour streaks remain. The dough will be thick and fudgy.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly, distributing them throughout the dough.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons or 30g each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. The edges should look set and slightly crisp, but the centers will still be soft to the touch.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Melting the chocolate with butter is key for the fudgy texture. Sift cocoa powder to avoid lumps. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Use a cookie scoop for even portions. Underbake slightly for extra fudginess. Variations include adding nuts, caramel swirls, espresso powder, or making vegan/gluten-free versions.
