2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, melt the chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture. Then, sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold everything together until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough room between each cookie to spread. If desired, top each cookie with extra chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the tops are shiny and cracked but the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate for up to a week.

Freezing: Freeze the cookie dough before baking by scooping the dough onto a baking sheet, freezing until solid, then transferring the dough balls to a freezer-safe bag. Add extra minutes to the baking time when ready to bake.

Reheating: Microwave cookies for 10-15 seconds to bring them back to life.

Variations: Add chopped nuts or extra chocolate chips on top, swap semi-sweet chocolate for white chocolate, or add mint extract for a minty twist.
