Hot Chocolate Cookie (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
½ cup granulated sugar.
02 -
3 large eggs, brought to room temperature.
03 -
6 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate, cut into pieces.
04 -
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
05 -
Flaky sea salt to sprinkle on top.
06 -
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
07 -
½ teaspoon kosher salt.
08 -
2 tablespoons vanilla extract.
09 -
½ teaspoon baking soda.
10 -
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
11 -
6 tablespoons salted butter.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and line your pans with parchment.
02 -
Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave. Whisk sugar and eggs until frothy, which takes about 2 minutes. Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth.
03 -
Blend in flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Gently toss in chocolate chunks. Chill dough for 30 minutes until it holds its shape.
04 -
Scoop out dough (about ¼ cup each) onto the prepared pans. Let them chill for another 15-30 minutes to firm up.
05 -
Space cold dough balls 2 inches apart on the pans. Bake for 8-12 minutes until the edges are set, but the centers still look soft.
06 -
Scatter a little sea salt on the cookies. They’re best warm but can sit for up to 4 days.
# Notes:
01 -
Freeze extra cookie dough for up to 3 months.
02 -
If it's too sticky, add more flour ¼ cup at a time.
