Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar

• 0 sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
4. Add the sugars to the chocolate mixture and beat until combined.
5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
8. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt before baking.
10. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are crackled and the edges are set. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
