Decoration Tips:
For a polished look, sprinkle the sea salt flakes evenly over the top of each cookie before baking.

Arrange the cookies on a beautiful plate or in a decorative box if giving them as a gift.
Ingredients:
- 220g dark chocolate, chopped
- 60g butter
- 80g brown sugar (light or dark)
- 80g white sugar
- 100g all-purpose flour (type 0000)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Melt together over a double boiler (bain-marie) or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the brown and white sugars until the mixture is frothy and has doubled in volume.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, stirring well to combine.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Sift together the flour and baking powder. Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture using a spatula, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Line baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Transfer the cookie batter into a piping bag with a plain round tip (or simply cut the tip of the bag). Pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each cookie.
- Bake:
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
