Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour, all-purpose
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces milk chocolate good-quality, (my favorite is dove) 4 ounces coarsely chopped, 4 ounces cut into 1/4-inch chunks
  • 1 stick butter, unsalted
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  • Melt coarsely chopped chocolate with the butter.
  • My gurl Martha does this with a double broiler, but despite her objections I use a pan on the lowest heat and this has worked just fine for my many chocolatey recipes.
  • Transfer chocolate mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer.
  • Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix on medium speed until combined.
  • Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture.
  • Fold in chocolate chunks.
  • Scoop batter using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, or a spoon; place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake until cookies are flat and surfaces begin to crack, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer on parchment to wire racks.
  • Let cool 5 minutes.
