Ingredients
 

  • 1½ cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (28.67 g) cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • ½ cup (113.5 g) butter room temp
  • 1½ cups (330 g) dark brown sugar light can be used also
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 8 oz (226.8 g) milk chocolate chips melted
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar for rolling
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and mix together. Add melted chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients until just mixed together. Do not over mix dry ingredients. Cover with saran wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop chilled dough using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop. This dough is stickier and harder to work with than regular cookie dough, but also worth the effort/mess. Roll in granulated sugar first, followed by powdered sugar. This helps the powdered sugar from disintegrating as they bake.
  • Bake 6-8 cookies per sheet for 11-13 minutes, or until edges look cooked and they are crackled.

Notes

The butter and eggs should not be completely chilled from the fridge.  I try to let them sit out for about 15-30 minutes before I begin my cookie making!
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
