Ingredients
170g dark chocolate (60-70%)
115g unsalted butter
100g granulated sugar
50g brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
50g all-purpose flour
20g unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
1. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3–5 minutes until thick and pale.
3. Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined.
6. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes to thicken.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Scoop the batter into mounds and place on the baking sheet, spacing apart. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on each.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the tops are crackled and the edges set.
10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor—avoid chocolate chips for melting.
Whipping the eggs and sugar thoroughly creates that shiny, crackled top.
Don’t skip resting the batter—it helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
