Ingredients:
- 60 grams butter
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa, chopped)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 75 grams granulated sugar (slightly less than 1/2 cup)
- 50 grams brown sugar (slightly more than 1/4 cup)
- A pinch of salt
- 70 grams flour (a little less than 1 cup)
- 15 grams cocoa powder (1 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven and Dry Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate. Mix until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the Eggs and Sugar:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed for about 5-6 minutes until the mixture becomes light in color and thick in texture.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring on low speed or with a spatula until just combined.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold them in with a spatula until the dough is smooth and fully combined.
- Form and Bake the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies a few inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will still be soft for a fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm for the ultimate brownie-like experience!
Enjoy!
