This easy, fail-proof recipe ensures perfect results every time, whether you’re baking for a special occasion or just indulging your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Unsalted Butter – ½ cup (1 stick) (adds richness and moisture)
Dark Chocolate – 8 oz (provides deep chocolate flavor)
Cocoa Powder – ¼ cup (intensifies the chocolate taste)
Granulated Sugar – ¾ cup (helps create a slight crisp on the edges)
Brown Sugar – ½ cup (adds chewiness and depth)
Eggs – 2 large (provides structure and moisture)
Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp (enhances the chocolate flavor)
All-Purpose Flour – ¾ cup (just enough to hold the cookies together)
Salt – ½ tsp (balances and enhances flavor)

Chocolate Chips – ½ cup (adds extra bursts of chocolate)

Instructions

1️⃣ Melt the Chocolate & Butter

In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together.
Stir until smooth and glossy, then let it cool slightly.

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

3️⃣ Whip the Eggs & Sugar

Using a hand mixer, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on high speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
This step helps create a shiny, crackly top like classic brownies!

4️⃣ Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients

Slowly mix the melted chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

5️⃣ Chill the Dough

Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. This prevents excessive spreading.

6️⃣ Scoop & Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop 1 tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set, but the centers remain soft.

7️⃣ Cool & Enjoy

Let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

💡 Baking Tips for Extra Fudginess

✔️ Use high-quality chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) for a deeper, richer flavor.
✔️ Do not overbake! The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
✔️ Whip the eggs and sugar well to create a crackly top.
✔️ Always chill the dough to prevent excessive spreading.
