Ingredients
For the Chocolate Fudge Cookies:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
Optional Toppings:
- Flaky sea salt (for garnish)
- Additional chocolate chunks (for extra gooeyness)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
3. Fold in the Chocolate:
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. Chill the Dough:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. This step helps enhance the flavor and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
5. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
6. Form the Cookies:
- Scoop 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7. Bake:
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to set as they cool.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
- With Milk: Pair these cookies with a cold glass of milk for a classic treat.
- As an Ice Cream Sandwich: Place a scoop of your favorite ice cream between two cookies for a decadent dessert.
- Gifting: Package them in a cute box or jar for a thoughtful homemade gift.
Tips for Success
- Use High-Quality Cocoa: The quality of your cocoa powder makes a big difference in flavor.
- Don’t Overbake: Remove the cookies when the centers are still soft to ensure a chewy texture.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough prevents spreading and enhances the flavour.
