Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Fold in the flour mixture until just combined, then stir in the chopped walnuts, if using.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake the cookies for an extra minute or two.
- You can substitute walnuts with other nuts or omit them entirely for a nut-free version
