Crisp edge with a soft fudgy center is what these fudgy chocolate cookies are all about. Made with real chocolate they are addictive, and yet also simple and easy to make.
Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and butter together over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
8 oz Chocolate, ¼ cup Unsalted Butter
Mix the Wet Ingredients: Add the brown sugar and eggs one at a time. Then add the vanilla extract and combine well.
½ cup Brown sugar, 2 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
½ cup All-purpose flour, ¼ tsp Baking powder, ¼ tsp Baking soda, ¼ tsp Salt
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. If using chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
½ cup Chocolate chips
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve: Enjoy these fudgy chocolate cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!
