Ingredients:
- 125 g (4.5 oz. / ½ cup) unsalted butter, roughly chopped
- 200 g (8 oz.) dark chocolate block, roughly chopped
- 1 cup (175 g) brown sugar, loosely packed
- ½ cup (120 g) caster sugar / superfine sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla extract
- ½ cup (75 g) plain flour / all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp (4 g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) salt
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 170°C / 340°F and prepare two large baking trays by greasing and lining them with baking paper.
In a large heat-proof bowl, add the chopped unsalted butter and dark chocolate. Microwave the bowl for 1 minute on high power and stir well. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. You can microwave in further 10 second bursts, if needed, to completely melt the chocolate.
Add the loosely packed brown sugar, caster sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Add the plain flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture will be thick and runny like a brownie batter.
Take a large tablespoon of the mixture and place it onto one of the prepared trays, shaping it into a rough circle. Leave at least a 3 cm (1 inch) gap between the cookies to allow for spreading. Note: if the batter is too runny, you can leave it to sit for 10 minutes in the bowl to firm up.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the top of the cookies are crackly. Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
