Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ cups black cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups chocolate chips (I use bittersweet, but pick your favorite!)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°. And line a rimmed sheet pan with a silicon liner or parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa and baking powder and then set off to the side.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer add butter, both sugars and salt. Mix on medium-low until combined. Add one egg at a time and mix after each addition.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl before gradually adding the dry ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined. Add in the chocolate chips and mix by hand until incorporated.
  • Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, place 12 rounded balls of dough onto prepared sheet pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6-8 minutes. If still soft after 8 minutes, bake for 1 minute increments. (in my oven 8 minutes is perfect)
  • Immediately once out of the oven, use a drinking glass to cover the cookie and make a swirling motion. This will correct any imperfect edges, yielding a perfectly round coal cookie.
  • Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
