Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cocoa powder (preferably dark cocoa)
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
Other Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup roughly chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Melt granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes glossy and well-integrated.
- Remove from heat and vigorously whisk the melted sugar mixture until smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate large eggs and pure vanilla extract, beating thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light and creamy.
- Sift unsweetened cocoa powder and kosher salt directly into the wet ingredients, gently folding until a uniform dark chocolate batter forms.
- Carefully fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Allow the cookie dough to rest at room temperature while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and positioning the rack in the center.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy release.
- Using a 2-tablespoon (30 milliliters) cookie scoop, portion the batter into rounded mounds, gently stacking each scoop for a thick, luxurious shape.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for slightly cracked edges and a soft center indicating perfect doneness.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, garnish the warm cookies with additional chocolate chips, allowing them to slightly melt on the surface.
- Let the flourless chocolate cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely set.
Notes
- These decadent cookies start with a rich, molten chocolate base that melts in your mouth.
- No flour means an ultra-intense chocolate experience with a fudgy, crackly exterior.
- Resting the batter allows ingredients to meld, creating deeper flavor complexity.
- Stacking cookie dough mounds creates delightful height and dramatic texture variation.
- Extra chocolate chips pressed on top add a luxurious finishing touch and visual appeal.
