Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or Dutch-process
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound. You should get about 18 to 20 cookies.
  8. Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each dough mound.
  9. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft and glossy. This ensures a fudgy texture.
  10. Remove the sheets from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the tops of the hot cookies with flaky sea salt.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The tops will develop their signature crinkly shine as they cool.

Notes

  • For the best fudgy texture, do not overbake. The cookies firm up significantly as they cool.
  • If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
  • You can substitute half of the semi-sweet chips with dark chocolate chips for a deeper chocolate flavor.
