Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips (60-70% cacao)
- 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter (unsalted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the bittersweet chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted. Let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the cooled melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using).
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft and fudgy.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the cookies.
- You can substitute the pecans with any nut or leave them out for a nut-free version.
- These cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
