Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (cool slightly before mixing) Unsalted gives you control of salt; if using salted, omit or reduce added salt.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature Room temperature eggs emulsify better and give a glossy batter.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For gluten-free, try a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and add 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum if the blend lacks it.
  • 1 cup cocoa powder Use natural unsweetened cocoa for a brighter chocolate note; Dutch-processed will give a deeper, smoother flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with both sugars until smooth and shiny.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until each is incorporated. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture gently until streaks of flour disappear. The dough should be thick and fudgy.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips so they are distributed evenly.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Use the back of the spoon to round the tops gently.
  2. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops show a light crackle.
  3. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
