Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter, sliced into 5 pieces
- ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (Cup4Cup gluten-free flour recommended)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or miniature chips
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 325°F with rack centered. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Chocolate Fusion: Melt butter and chocolate chips in a saucepan, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, continue stirring until fully integrated, then allow to cool slightly.
- Wet Ingredient Harmony: Whisk sugars, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until light and uniform. Fold in melted chocolate mixture, creating a silky, consistent base.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Incorporate gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, leavening agent, and salt into wet mixture. Mix thoroughly to eliminate flour pockets. Gently fold in additional chocolate chips for extra richness.
- Portioning and Baking: Scoop uniform dough balls onto prepared sheets, leaving space between each. Bake until surface develops characteristic crackles and edges appear set, carefully monitoring to maintain moisture.
- Cooling Process: Let cookies rest on baking sheets briefly to set initial structure. Transfer to wire rack to complete cooling, allowing cookies to reach perfect fudgy consistency.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting Technique: Melt chocolate and butter slowly over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning and ensure a smooth, glossy texture.
- Gluten-Free Flour Tip: Sift gluten-free flour before mixing to eliminate potential lumps and create a more consistent cookie texture.
- Moisture Preservation: Remove cookies from oven when edges are set but centers still look slightly underbaked to guarantee maximum fudginess and soft interior.
- Cooling Strategy: Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking to help them firm up without becoming dry or crumbly.
