How to Make Those Chocolate Cookies
- Place a medium metal bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Add 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate and butter are almost completely melted. Remove from heat.
- Continue to stir until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer for approximately 10 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder (optional) to the egg mixture. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
- Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture until evenly combined. Then, gently fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 20-25 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of chilled cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies may appear cracked and shiny on top.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
