Ingredients
200g dark chocolate (60–70% cacao)
85g unsalted butter
100g granulated sugar
100g brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
120g all-purpose flour
30g unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
80g powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and pale, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Slowly mix in the melted chocolate-butter mixture until fully combined.
4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture until combined.
5. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2 hours until firm.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and roll in powdered sugar.
8. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the tops are cracked and set but centers are soft.
10. Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or let cool completely.
Notes
Make sure the chocolate has cooled slightly before adding it to the eggs to avoid scrambling.
Chill the dough thoroughly to achieve the signature crinkle top and prevent spreading.
Coat the dough balls generously in powdered sugar—don’t be shy!
