Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoon (18g) cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 6 oz (170g) bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa) coarsely chopped into chunks plus extra for topping
- ⅓ cup (75g) salted butter
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- heaped ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into a medium bowl, then whisk to combine.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts or using a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Keep it warm.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and gradually add the sugar while mixing with an electric mixer or whisk. Once combined, add the vanilla and salt, mixing until pale yellow and light.
- Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well blended. Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients. If the batter is too runny, let it thicken a bit before proceeding.
- Using a 1 ¼-oz cookie scoop, portion out the batter onto the baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers remain gooey. Let rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before lifting and sprinkling with flaky sea salt.
