Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 200 g 70% cacao dark chocolate (chopped) High-quality chocolate recommended for best flavor.
  • 115 g unsalted butter
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 110 g light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (~100g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 125 g all-purpose flour
  • 10 g unsweetened natural or Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 5 g black cocoa powder Optional, see notes.
  • 5 g baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • flaky sea salt (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, black cocoa, baking powder, and salt until combined; set aside.
  3. Place the butter and chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water to create a double boiler. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted, then remove from heat.
Mixing
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together the eggs, sugars, and vanilla for 5-6 minutes on medium-high speed.
  2. With the mixer on, pour in the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
  3. Sift in the dry ingredients and gently fold using a rubber spatula until just combined.
Baking
  1. Using a 3-tbsp cookie scoop, drop 6 cookies on each prepared pan, ensuring enough space between them as they will spread when baking.
  2. Sprinkle each cookie with a little flaky sea salt and bake one tray at a time for 12-13 minutes.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for at least 15 minutes before removing them to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. For more intense chocolate flavor, increase the dark chocolate. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
