Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated (white sugar)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus about 3 teaspoons more for sprinkling on top
2 cups dark chocolate chips

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one by one until completely blended in, and then the vanilla.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low (or stir by hand) until the ingredients are incorporated. Add the chocolate chips. The batter will be very thick.
Scoop the cookies in approximately 2-tablespoon increments onto an ungreased non-stick cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with silpat. I recommend a cookie scoop for this step - makes life so much easier.
Bake for about 7 minutes, until the cookies seem set but might still appear underdone (key to a soft, moist cookie). Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
