Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate
• 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ cup unsalted butter

  at room temperature
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup whole milk

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• 2 Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler or in a stainless steel bowl
  set over simmering water. Be sure that the water does not touch the bottom of
  the bowl. When the chocolate is melted, remove from the heat.
• 3 Stir together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside. Using a
  standard mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed
  until creamy. Slowly add the sugar and mix until the mixture is completely
  smooth and soft. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
• 4 Beat in the salt and the vanilla, and then add the melted chocolate and beat on
  low speed until incorporated. Add the milk and beat until combined. Finally, add
  the flour mixture and beat on low speed until incorporated.
• 5 Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets,
  spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake the cookies until they are just barely
  firm on top when lightly touched but are still very soft underneath, about 7
  minutes. They will get firmer as they cool.
• 6 Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool. They will keep in an airtight
  container at room temperature for several days.
