Scale
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled for a few minutes
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus an extra handful for additional topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix with a spatula until just combined. Add in the chocolate chips and mix until combined.
- Cover the dough and chill for 2 hours (or up to overnight).
- Let the chilled dough sit out for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325° F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough and shape into balls sized 1 and 1/2 tablespoons, but make them a little bit taller than the width. Place about 6 to a baking sheet.
- Bake for around 12 minutes. The cookies will start to form some cracks on the top.
- Once removed from the oven, press extra chocolate chips into the cookies. Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
