Ingredients

  • 56 grams salted butter, melted
  • 150 grams light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 120 grams all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 20 grams dutch-process cocoa powder, spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips, or chopped baking chocolate*

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) convection (fan) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, microwave the butter for 30-60 seconds, just until it’s melted.

  4. Add in the vanilla extract and the egg and continue whisking until it's completely smooth.
    1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 large egg room temperature
  5. Add the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and use a rubber spatula to fold them in, just until they're barely combined.

  6. Add the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips and fold until the chocolate is evenly distributed.

  7. Use a two ounce cookie scooper to scoop out eight, 2 ounces of cookie dough balls. Place four cookie rounds per cookie sheet.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes, just until the edges feel set (you can touch them carefully) and the center looks puffed up.
  9. Remove and bang the pan on the counter and top with a pinch of sea salt flakes. Let the cookies rest on the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.
