Ingredients

  • 145g granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 40g all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Place the oven rack in the middle position.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.  Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. 
  5. Once the ingredients have melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let cool. 
  6. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high for 4 minutes, until it reaches a ribbon-like consistency and lightens in colour.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla into the egg mixture.  Use a spatula to stir until ingredients are combined.
  8. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl.
  9. Use a spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter. 
  10. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Use the ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into 20 balls.  Bake 10 cookies at a time.
  12. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.  The cracks on the cookies should be moist.
  13. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
  14. Store the cookies in an airtight container.
