Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (255g) dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa content)
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
