Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar light or dark brown sugar works
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated and brown sugars until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl and slowly add to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop heaping portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Sprinkle the tops of the cookie dough with flaky sea salt.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and centers still look slightly underbaked.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For Halal-friendly cookies, replace butter with plant-based alternatives. Monitor baking time as it can vary by oven. Refrigerating the dough for about 30 minutes can enhance flavors.
