Start my melting the chocolate and the butter. Doing so, prevents the chocolate from seizing. Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes and stir in the sugars (both white and brown sugar are used), eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. Follow with cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and flour. Last but not least, chocolate chips and chocolate chunks. So much goodness!
When you add the flour, fold lightly just until combined. The cookie dough will be on the soft side. Resist the urge to add flour to it because as the melted chocolate continues to cool down, the dough will become easier to scoop.
I let cookie dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour before scooping onto baking sheets. If you don’t want to chill the dough, the cookies will spread while baking. They will not create a mess in the oven, don’t worry, but they won’t be as thick like mine.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (114 grams) butter
1/2 cup (84 grams) bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup (200 grams) packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup (30 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips and/or chunks
Instructions
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate. (you can do this in a double boiler, just make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, or in the microwave)
Stir to combine until smooth and velvety. Set aside for 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract and eggs.
Gently fold in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt.
Last, fold in the chocolate chips and/or chunks.
Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can actually keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days, but scoop it after an hour otherwise it will harden too much.
Heat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Using a large scoop , drop cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 16 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Optional
As soon as you remove the cookies from the oven, you can top them wth more chocolate chips and/or chunks <- not included in the ingredients list.
