Ingredients

  • 16 oz dark chocolate I use Ghirardelli 60% cacao chips
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Melt chocolate, I do this at 30% power in the microwave for 1 minute and 10-15 seconds at full power to melt completely and stir in every 30 seconds.
  • Next melt butter in the microwave, which usually takes 30 seconds or so on high.
  • In a medium bowl mix brown sugar and eggs with a fork or whisk then add in chocolate, butter, flour, baking powder, and vanilla and mix with form spatula until combined.
  • Don't overmix the batter.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes, it'll thicken up. Like ganache does.
  • Scoop 3 tablespoons-sized scoops of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets for these large cookies.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 14-15 minutes.
  • When you remove the pan from the oven allow the cookies to cool on the pan.
  • Test with a toothpick before removing the cookies from the oven, the batter should not stick to the toothpick, but be careful not to overbake or they won't be chewy, they will dry out.
  • -3 tablespoon-sized scoop cookies or 24-2 tablespoon-sized scooped cookies (baked for 11 mins)

Notes

I formulated a version with 1/2 the chocolate, so 8 oz chocolate and 1/3 cup cocoa with 1 tablespoon oil, and adjusted the sugar to 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. This version was delicious as well, it's also really nice with all brown sugar, a little fluffier in texture.
