Ingredients

• 94 grams flour

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 226 grams semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (recommended: 70% chocolate)

• 57 grams unsalted butter, cubed

• 2 large eggs, at room temperature

• 100 grams sugar

• 92 grams light brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 85 grams semisweet chocolate chips

• flaky salt, for topping

Method

• Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Place chopped chocolate and butter in a double boiler or in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Slowly melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• Combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk together on medium speed for 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in the melted chocolate for 1 minute.
• Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed for 20 seconds, just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips (dough will resemble a gooey brownie batter).
• Use a cookie scoop coated lightly with nonstick spray to form the cookies – invert the scoop just above the baking sheet, spacing cookies 3 inches apart.
• Bake, rotating pans halfway through, for 12 to 14 minutes, until tops are shiny and crackly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky salt.
• Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
