Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 8 ounces (about 1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, sea salt and baking soda.
- In a second bowl, beat the butter with the white sugar and light brown sugar until creamy. Add the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time, beating briefly after each addition.
- Add about half of the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients and mix on low for ~20 seconds. Then add the remainder of the dry mixture and continue mixing just until everything is incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and the chopped dark chocolate.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight if preferred).
- Once chilled, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set while the centre still looks a bit soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Repeat with remaining dough until finished. Serve warm or cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential for texture and flavor.
- Cookies can be customized with different types of chocolate or added nuts.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Microwave or briefly bake to reheat for a fresh-baked texture.
