- 1 cup salted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 ounces (2/3 cup) dark chocolate, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (dark!)
Make the Dough
- Cream the butter, then the sugars together
- Mix in melted 4oz of dark chocolate
- Add eggs and vanilla
- Add in dry ingredients (except choco chips). Stir with a spatula first so the stand mixer doesn’t make everything go “poof!” initially.
- Add in chocolate chips as soon as the batter comes together, don’t overmix
- Chill the dough for half an hour, then portion it (~60grams per ball) and fridge for another 30+ minutes, or forget in the fridge/freezer.
To Bake
- Preheat to 350 degrees F
- Space them ~2″ apart, and smush them slightly before baking or they’ll end up as mounds (kindof donut-like, but no hole in the middle)
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, until soft but not shiny
