Salted Dark Chocolate Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cookies:- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips or chunks
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prep:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream Butter and Sugars:In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla:Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks.
- Scoop and Bake:Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake to Perfection:Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake; you want them to stay nice and gooey in the middle.
- Cool and Enjoy:Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy these irresistible Salted Dark Chocolate Cookies!
