Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon whole milk (optional)
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chunks
- Extra chocolate for topping
Instructions
- Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture, beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the dough appears dry, incorporate 1 tablespoon of whole milk.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chunks, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are set.
- While the cookies are still warm, press additional chocolate chunks onto the tops for an extra chocolatey finish.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. For the ultimate experience, enjoy at least one while it’s still warm.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is crucial to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of whole milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- For varied textures and gooey bites, use a mix of dark, milk, and white chocolate chunks.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the dough balls and bake them directly from frozen, adding an extra minute to the baking time.
