Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsp (57g) salted butter
- 1 lb (454g) chopped semisweet chocolate
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (4g) pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- ½ tsp (2g) baking powder
- 12 oz (340g) milk chocolate chips
- Crushed peppermint (optional), for topping
Instructions
- Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Combine butter and chopped semisweet chocolate, stirring until smooth (about 5-10 minutes).
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat eggs and sugar on medium speed until well combined. Add vanilla extract, then gently pour in the melted chocolate mixture, beating until thoroughly mixed.
- Fold in sifted flour and baking powder until combined, then add milk chocolate chips, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover, and freeze for 1 hour to firm up.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a scoop, form the batter into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until cookies are cracked on top and dry at the edges.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed peppermint on top right after baking, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
