  • 1 18x26" cookie sheet pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 large cookie scoop
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 microwave
  • 1 microwaveable dish
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz. Ghirardelli unsweetened chocolate (see note below)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or 1 to 1 1/4 cups if you prefer a sweeter cookie)
  • 2 tbsp. cocoa
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks

Instructions
 

  • Place chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-proof dish.
  • Microwave 30 seconds and stir.
  • Microwave another 30 seconds and stir again.
  • Microwave 10-20 more seconds until mixture is completely melted.
  • Stir once again and add granulated sugar.
  • Add cocoa, vanilla extract, egg, salt and baking powder and combine with a whisk until smooth.
  • Add flour and chocolate chunks and stir to combine.
  • Mixture will be thick.
  • With a one-quarter cup cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and place on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Chill dough about 30 minutes.
  • Lightly press cookies with the palm of your hand before baking.
  • Bake at 350° about 15-16 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes

NOTE: Smaller cookies will bake in less time.
 
NOTE: For a sweeter cookie use sweetened chocolate and add an additional ¼ to 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
 
NOTE: You must chill the dough before baking if you want a good result.
 
NOTE: These cookies are extremely chocolaty. If you don't care for such a strong chocolate taste, decrease the chocolate from 3-ounces to 2-ounces, or use a less concentrated chocolate like a Baker's unsweetened chocolate baking bar.
