Ingredients
- 12 oz . bittersweet chocolate chips 60-70% cacao
- 1/2 c . butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 c . granulated sugar
- 1/4 c . brown sugar
- 1 T . vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp . baking powder
- 1/2 tsp . salt
- 3/4 c . all-purpose flour
- 1/4 c . unsweetened cocoa powder not Dutch-processed
- 1 c . pecans chopped, optional
- 1/2 c . mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and well-combined.
- Remove from heat, and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugars, vanilla, baking powder, and salt on high speed 5 minutes, or until the batter is thick and creamy.
- Reduce the speed to low, and mix in the melted chocolate until well-combined.
- Stir in flour and cocoa powder just until combined.
- Add nuts, if using, and chocolate chips. Stir in to combine.
- Cover the batter, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop batter onto the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies 8-10 minutes. The cookie will look set at the edges but still be a little wet looking in the center. Don’t overbake, or the cookies won’t be crackly and fudgy.
- The shiny, crackly crust will develop as the cookies cool on the baking sheet.
