Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter together in microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk eggs and sugar in a large bowl for 5 minutes until pale, fluffy, and almost doubled in volume.
  4. Combine wet ingredients by pouring the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add vanilla and whisk until combined and glossy.
  5. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl: whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Fold together by adding dry ingredients to chocolate mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Dough will be very soft.
  7. Scoop cookies using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, dropping dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 8-9 minutes until edges are set and tops have crackle appearance. Centers will look slightly underdone.
  9. Cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before moving.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs are crucial for proper volume when whisking
  • Don't skip the 5-minute whisking - this creates the crackle top
  • Measure flour correctly using the spoon-and-level method to avoid cakey cookies
  • Don't overbake - cookies should look slightly underdone in the center when removed
  • Cool on the pan - residual heat finishes baking for perfect texture
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days
  • Freeze dough for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to baking time
  • Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months
