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 and whisk to combine.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl in the microwave or on low heat in a saucepan until smooth and glossy. Keep warm.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and gradually mix in the sugar using an electric mixer or whisk. Add the vanilla and salt, mixing until lightened in color.
- Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until combined, then fold in the sifted dry ingredients. If the batter is runny, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken before proceeding.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the batter onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 3 inches between each. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set and the centers remain gooey. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before adding flaky sea salt and serving.
