Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 1/4 cups + 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup good quality dark cocoa powder
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Preparation
Step 1
preheat the oven to 350. line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3mins. Blend in the eggs one at ta time, scraping down the bowl as needed. ON low speed, stir in the cocoa powder until well blended. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and mix on low speed until just incorporated. fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Transfer the dough to a work surface and with slightly damp hands to prevent sticking, knead briefly by hand to be sure the ingredients are well combined.
Divide the dough into 4 oz portions, knead briefly by hand to be sure the ingredients are well combined. Divide the dough into 4oz portions (yields 11 cookies) or divide into 12 equal pieces. Again with slightly damp hands, roll each portion of dough into a ball and flatten just slightly into a disc. Place on the prepared baking sheets, two inches apart.
Bake 16-20 mins, until you're just able to lift the edges off the pan without breaking the dough. let cool on the baking sheets 5-10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
