Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
Sugars and Fats:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar, packed
Flavor Enhancers and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Additional chocolate chips for filling
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate temperature, preparing a baking surface with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Create a decadent base by gently melting chocolate and butter together, allowing the mixture to cool until slightly tepid.
- In a separate vessel, vigorously combine granulated and brown sugars with eggs and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and homogeneous.
- Carefully integrate the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring with deliberate, gentle motions.
- Delicately sift dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt – into the wet components, folding with minimal disruption to maintain a light texture.
- Refrigerate the dough for a brief period to enhance structural integrity and ease of handling.
- Craft uniform dough spheres, strategically embedding additional chocolate chips into the center of each cookie for surprise molten pockets.
- Arrange cookies on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing for potential spread.
- Bake until the cookie surfaces develop a glossy, crackled appearance, indicating perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet momentarily to set, then transfer to a cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.
- Serve and enjoy the luxurious contrast between crisp exterior and gooey chocolate center.
Notes
- Chill the dough to prevent spreading and create a denser, chewier texture during baking.
- Insert extra chocolate chips in the center for a gooey, molten chocolate surprise when biting into the cookie.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
