  • Makes about 3 dozen
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 oz high-quality milk chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside. Melt chopped chocolate in the top part of a double boiler or in a metal bowl set in a pan of simmering water. Stir chocolate until completely melted.

Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the bowl of chocolate and mix with an electric mixer at medium speed until combined. Reducing the speed to low, add flour gradually until combined thoroughly.

Using a spoon, scoop balls of the batter onto parchment lined cookie sheets and bake for 12 minutes. Cool on racks.

These cookies will last 4 days in an airtight container, longer if kept in your cooler.
