Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp (1g) baking powder
  • ¼ tsp (1.5g) salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature
  • 2 tsp (10ml) pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture looks pale and slightly fluffy.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the butter.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  8. Portion the chilled dough into rounded tablespoons (approx. 2 tbsp each), spacing them 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set and the tops have puffed and cracked.
