🛒 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

200g dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), melted
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-Ins & Topping:

½ cup chocolate chips (dark or milk)
Extra melted chocolate for drizzle
Optional: chocolate chunks or walnuts

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together:

Flour
Cocoa powder
Baking powder
Salt

Set aside.

Step 3: Melt Chocolate & Butter

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave (in short bursts). Stir until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4: Whip Eggs & Sugar (Important Step)

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until thick and pale. This step is crucial for achieving the crackly brownie-style top.

Step 5: Combine Wet Ingredients

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add vanilla extract and gently mix until fully combined.

Step 6: Add Dry Ingredients

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick and fudgy.

Step 7: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in chocolate chips or chunks for extra richness.

Step 8: Scoop & Bake

Scoop large spoonfuls onto the prepared tray, leaving space between each cookie.

Bake for 10–12 minutes.
The cookies should look set on the edges but slightly soft in the center.

Step 9: Finish with Chocolate Topping

Once slightly cooled, drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top (as shown in the image).
