Servings: 5 cookies
Equipment
- large mixing bowl OR stand mixer
- (if not using stand mixer, use a hand mixer)
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- rubber spatula
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup salted sweet cream butter softened
- ¼ cup turbinado sugar or granulated white sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 medium sized egg
- 1 Tablespoon dark cocoa powder I used Hershey's Special Dark
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt plus more for top of cookies
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- In stand mixer, or large mixing bowl, cream ⅓ cup softened butter, ¼ c turbinado sugar, ¼ c dark brown sugar by mixing it together on medium speed. Mix for 2-3 minutes, or until well incorporated.
- One butter and sugar are combined, turn off mixer, and add 1 medium sized egg. Mix until incorporated.
- Add ¾ c all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon each baking powder and soda, ⅛ teaspoon salt to mix. Mix together on low, until flour is all incorporated.
- Add 1 cup dark chocolate chips to cookie dough. Fold into dough with a rubber spatula.
- Divide dough into 5-6 large pieces. Form each piece into a round ball, and place, evenly spaced out, on a large cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt on each cookie.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes in the middle of the oven. Cookies will be gooey, and shiny, but the dough won't look wet. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt on each cookie. Using a rubber spatula, push in edges to form a cookies with even thickness throughout. Let sit to cool for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Serve with milk.
Notes
- If you don't have softened butter ready to use, place butter in glass mixing bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until butter is softened, but no more than ¼ is melted.
- Use granulated white sugar if you don't have turbinado sugar (turbinado has a bit molasses in it still), and light brown sugar if you don't have dark.
- Use your favorite kind of chocolate chips in this recipe. If you have a chocolate bar on hand, chop that up and replace ½ the chocolate chips with equal parts chopped chocolate. I used a chopped 70% chocolate bar in this recipe.
