Ingredients
- 1cup/145 grams all-purpose flour
- ¾cup/75 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ¾teaspoon kosher salt
- ½teaspoon baking powder
- ½teaspoon baking soda
- 10tablespoons/141 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¾cup/150 grams dark brown sugar
- ⅔cup/133 grams granulated sugar
- 1large egg
- 2teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2cups/305 grams semisweet or bittersweet chocolate discs (or use 2 cups/340 grams chocolate chips)
Preparation
- Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until very light, about 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
- Step 3
With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Add the chocolate discs and mix briefly to combine. Press plastic wrap against the dough and chill it for at least 24 hours and up to 36.
- Step 4
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion the dough out into balls slightly larger than golf balls, about 3½ ounces each, and transfer five balls to the baking sheet. (They will spread significantly.) Bake the cookies until set, being careful to remove cookies from the oven when still soft in the center, about 18 minutes. Transfer the parchment with the cookies to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough, baking a second batch of four or five cookies. Serve warm.

If you want to make smaller cookies, you can make the circles of dough smaller. I’m six and even I can do it.
I haven't made these cookies but made very similar soft batter cookies. Instead of refrigerating for 24 hrs try this. Place batter in bowl in freezer for 30 mins. No longer because then they will be too hard. Use ice cream scoop to form cookies. Place on tray with parchment. Place trays in fridge for 2 hrs then bake. This cuts down chill time down from 24 hrs to only 2.5 hours. After baking put cookies & parchment on rack. They are too soft to move off of parchment right after baking.
I make a chocolate chip cookie that you let rest for 24-36 hours in the refrigerator too. The dough gets extremely difficult to work with, once chilled, so I make into balls prior to refrigerating. Hope this helps.
Been making a version of these for years...I never go beyond 13 minutes in oven, I take them out and let the residual heat finish them. I started adding Hershey's cream cheese chips to these with the semi sweet chips for a little kick. It works. Please watch these...remember: you can't unbake a cookie.
This is just overkill on chocolate and i am a chocolate lover. I do not think the cookie is very attractive or appetizing. I followed the recipe exactly and used good quality chocolate. Some family members liked them okay. Also it was impossible to scoop after refrigerating and should have mentioned that you need to take out of refrigerator quite a while before being able to scoop, at least an hour and maybe more.
Instructions should include that dough should be removed from refrigerator at least 1 hour before trying to make into a ball. I would definitely make into balls and the. Refrigerate. Bake about 10 min in convection and made smaller
