Ingredients
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
1 whole egg
⅓ teaspoon sea salt
1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2.5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
Execution
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the Egg: Beat in the egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking soda.
Mix Everything Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
Shape and Bake: Form the dough into pucks weighing about 2.3 ounces each. Place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes. For an extra chocolatey touch, you can add more chocolate chunks on top after baking.
Additional tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the butter and egg are at room temperature for easier mixing and a better texture.
- Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Variation: Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
