Ingredients
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
1 cup (175g) dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup (200g) sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (70g) flour
1/3 cup (50g) chocolate protein powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Execution
Prepare the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place the unsalted butter and chopped dark chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at medium power (50%) in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 1.5-2 minutes.
Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the vanilla extract and beat again.
Combine with Chocolate: Gradually add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture, stirring gently.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until combined.
Form the Cookies: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
Additional tips
- Consistency: For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
