Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85 g) chocolate chunks, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix the wet ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well. - Combine the dry ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. - Make the dough:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix. - Add the chocolate:
Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks, reserving a few pieces for the tops of the cookies. - Shape the cookies:
Scoop the dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. - Add extra chocolate:
Press a few chocolate chips or chunks onto the top of each dough ball for an extra gooey appearance. - Bake:
Bake for 9–11 minutes. The edges should look set while the centers still appear slightly soft. - Cool:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
🍫 Pro Tips
- Do not overbake—the cookies continue cooking as they cool.
- For an extra fudgy texture, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking.
- Use a mixture of chocolate chips and chopped chocolate for more melted chocolate pockets.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top for a delicious sweet-and-salty finish.
