Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips Use a type you enjoy eating.
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter Helps achieve a silky texture.
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs Creates the signature shiny top.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour Provides structure to the cookies.
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder For added chocolate flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder Leavening agent for rising.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Ingredients
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks For extra melty pockets.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heat-safe bowl, stirring until completely smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar and brown sugar for 3–5 minutes until light, thick, and foamy.
  3. Stir the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla into the egg mixture until evenly blended and shiny.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. (Optional) Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. The tops should be glossy with light cracking.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies and thaw at room temperature.
