Ingredients
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chunks or chips (optional)
Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until pale and thick (about 5–6 minutes).
3. Add vanilla and slowly mix in the cooled melted chocolate.
4. Sift and fold in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently.
5. Fold in chocolate chunks or chips if using.
6. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. Scoop batter onto sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until crackly on top and slightly underbaked in the center.
10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Sprinkle sea salt while warm.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder for deeper flavor.
Letting the batter rest helps control cookie spread.
Don’t skip beating the eggs and sugar—it’s the secret to the crinkle top.
