Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 7 ounces (200 grams) dark chocolate (60-70%), coarsely chopped
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) light brown sugar
Flour and Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Fats and Flavorings:
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside for later use.
- Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully integrated. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whip eggs and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes pale, voluminous, and increases to approximately three times its original volume.
- Incorporate the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, blending thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved.
- Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, creating a fluid batter with a glossy appearance.
- Chill the batter for 15 minutes to allow it to thicken and develop a more robust texture.
- Distribute the batter onto prepared trays using a cookie scoop, ensuring even spacing and consistent size.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, focusing on achieving a shiny, cracked surface and slight dome shape.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on trays for 15-20 minutes, enabling them to firm up naturally.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack for complete cooling, recognizing they will solidify as they reach room temperature.
Notes
- Chill the batter thoroughly to achieve that classic fudgy, crackly-top texture unique to these brownie cookies.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense cookies that lose their delicate, melt-in-your-mouth quality.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a deeper, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire cookie experience.
- For gluten-free variations, swap wheat flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising taste.
