Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

    Advertisement

  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.

  • Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook's Notes

Don't worry if the batter seems thin. It should look more like a brownie batter than a cookie dough. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for two to three days.

I made these cookies and they were a huge hit! I thought that they were easy to make and love the chocolate taste. People who having trouble: read the instructions. Make sure you have everything on hand. Measure properly. And have good quality ingredients. These cookies are delicious, thanks Martha and Sarah.

I have made these cookies with pecan pieces & Nestles salted caramel chips instead of the extra chocolate chunks. Always a hit. My son and his friends scarf these up. I make them ahead of Christmas by chilling dough, scooping them with an ice cream scooper and freezing them in ziploc bags.

Oh, I totally have a new favorite cookie recipe! (And I'm awfully good at baking cookies.) I did take the excellent advice of those who came before and followed directions exactly, with the addition of some chopped walnuts, which are standard procedure with me. I also found the dough far less sticky and troublesome after resting in the fridge for a day. I baked them 13 minutes and may try to add an extra minute to the next batch, but I did enjoy the gooey center, so the jury's still out. Wonderful chocolate explosion in each bite!

Cookies are perfect and have made these several times. It helps to melt the chocolate over double broiler over very low heat. It also helps to place the dough in the fridge for about an hour to firm it up. I then shape them into small balls and place them on parchment paper and let them firm up again in the fridge. Place them in ziplock bags in the freezer and bake whenever I need them.

Delicious and rich and moist and chocolatey. My alterations: I added a lot of toasted walnuts. I suggest baking one cookie by itself at first so you can determine how long to bake it for proper results. I overbaked (burnt) the first tray because it was so hard to tell if the cookies were done or not. Also, if you refrigerate the dough, it will firm up a great deal, and you should know that the chilled dough will not spread in the over, so shape the dough in the shape and thickness you want the baked cookie to be. Overall this is a delicious recipe that I will make again.

I followed the recipe exactly, they came out wonderful! I used Plugra unsalted butter at room temp., for the melting chocolate I used Scharffen Berger 70%, for the chunks I used half Scharffen Berger and half Nestle semi sweet chips. I was confused about the beating the eggs to light and fluffy. I beat for about 2 minutes and added my melted chocolate, mine was still warm as I didn't see the review about cooling it; seemed to be fine. My dough was not really thin, it was more gooey and sticky. I baked for 12 min. and made sure to rotate 1/2 way through. They came out just like the picture! They are rich, I think I'll enjoy them with a glass of port, hubby will enjoy with milk.

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. I've made them several times, and they always turn out great, and I get lots of requests for the recipe. Here's my super-secret tip for getting cookies that look just like the picture: READ and FOLLOW the instructions. I find the comments below stating "The batter was runny. I had to add more flour to make it more like a cookie dough" to be very frustrating. The recipe specifically states the batter will be thin. When the cookies are prepared following the instructions, the resulting cookies have a wonderful, unusual texture. If you add extra flour, you're altering the not only the texture, but also the taste of the cookies. By the way, if your cookies turned out grey and bland, you used poor-quality chocolate. Chocolate features quite prominently in the recipe. If you use good-quality chocolate, you are obviously going to get a better-tasting cookie. If your cookies turned out "thin and burnt", that's entirely on you. Almost all of the negative reviews below are due to a lack of reading comprehension, an inability to follow directions, or an inexperienced baker. Also, it's been said many times, but some people still don't get it. If you are reviewing a recipe, review the original recipe as written, not the mess that you made by altering it beyond recognition. I have no problem with tweaking recipes to your own tastes, and I even enjoy learning the creative changes other cooks have made to the recipe and how they turned out. I, myself, like to use this recipe as the base for Black Forest cookies by adding cherries, cherry brandy, and some almond flour. However, the rating of the recipe should always reflect the results of following the original recipe.

These cookies are to die for. I did add some oatmeal, honey almonds, chopped until super fine in my processor to make 1/2 cup. I use the best Belgium Chocolate in both the chopped and morsels. All I can say is that if you add 1/2 teas of dried expresso (instant) that it brings these up to a major gourmet level. This was a trick that the head chef shared with me years ago from Neiman Marcus that they use in their Chocolate Chip Cookie that they are known for. Sorry I am not trying to change the recipe but I like that little extra crunch you get with adding a few of the above ingredients. #RulatheRed

My new signature cookie. Everyone goes NUTS for these. Remember to rotate your cookie sheet and don't overcook. 12 minutes is just the right amount in my oven. I find an entire pckg of chocolate chips too much, so I use about 2/3 bag.

This is exactly the moist, chocolaty treat I've been craving. For those of you who were dissatisfied I can only suggest you whip the egg mixture for 3 minutes, and use a very high quality chocolate. I used dark chocolate couverture 64 % cacao pistoles as my melting chocolate and high quality milk chocolate chips at the end. The cookies were shiny and cracked a bit around the edges when we took them out of the oven but still soft in the center and only needed 10 minutes. Wonderful!

I made these cookies- LOVED THEM! They came out amazing and tasted amazing! I had to triple the recipe to make enough for my friends at school (who are in love with me because of my cooking he-he) and for my family! They came out exactly like the recipe said they would! Oh, and I only added the chunks in at the end. I put the batter on the cookie sheets and added the chunks to each individual scoop of batter so each cookie had at least 3 chunks in it.

Sincere review... This recipe turned out awful. I followed all directions to a T, even with my grandmother helping me (a baker!). The cookies turned out a dull gray, not like the picture. The first few cookies turned out okay but they weren't sweet or tasty, just tasted like the choc chunks inside. They just LOOK okay, not taste good. And all the rest burnt bc it didn't specify parchment paper or to grease the cookie sheet. I am upset bc the ingredients were expensive and it was all wasted.

Based on other reviews I was very hesitant to try this recipe - but so glad I did! I'm happy to say the cookies came out wonderful. For others who had problems w/ them being flat I'm going to venture to guess that the likely culprit/issue was not really beating the eggs - I was worried that I may have over beaten them but I'm an experienced baker and I think that was key - along w/ letting the melted chocolate cool before adding it in. These will be my go to choc cookie from now on!

Was so excited to try these cookies after seeing the picture and reading some of the rave reviews. However, like many reviews said that I tried to ignore because I wanted to try them so bad they are right. These cookies are nothing but outrageously awful. They are thin, flat, dry and chalk like. There is no gooey goodness in any part. I followed the recipe step by step and even read reviews that gave extra directions to ensure a great cookie but still they were awful. These cookies are a letdown

These are easy, delicious and look just like the photo. I have been substituting 1/2 of flour with either almond flour or cashew flour (I used cashew this time), It gives great flavor and added fiber. This recipe didn't require a special trip to the store for any exotic ingredient, and turned out like professional quality cookie. So sorry for those that didn't have luck, keep trying. Also, all cookies require either parchment or grease. I used parchment.

Made these today, and voila - DELICIOUS DISASTER!!! It did not mention to GREASE the baking sheet or use of parchment paper. Cookies came out runny, thin and flat as pancakes. Once they cooled, they hardened and needed to be CHISELED OFF the baking sheet. From reading other peoples reviews chocolate has to be completely cooled before adding to the batter and that is the only thing that I can think of that made them so runny. However recipe SHOULD State GREASED sheet or PARCHMENT paper.

Made these delish cookies a few days ago and they came out perfect! I followed the recipe exactly and baked them on a regular cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and had no problems. They were crisp and glossy on the outside and soft and chewy inside and quite rich and chocolatey! Yum! I gifted a few to friends who wanted to know when I would be making them again- a big hit with everyone. Add a glass of ice cold milk and you have heaven in your mouth:)

These cookies are VERY special. I baked them for just 12 minutes and a day later they are still gooey and delicious on the inside. This recipe achieves the cookie perfection I've been trying to produce for some time. Be warned though. They are intensely chocolatey (which for a chocolate fan is no complaint!) I took them in to work today and oohs and aaahs of cookie pleasure were heard throughout the office- try them out for yourself!

Wanted a well received chocolate cookie and this one had so many positive reviews. Was worried, as others mentioned, about the batter being too thin but did find that when the chips were added - an entire bag - that the dough thickened right up. Mine were done at six minutes and eight minutes. depending on the pan used. (The dark, non-stick cooked more quickly.) So, I would definitely check them and take them out when firm to the touch. Added pb and chocolate chips, yum! (and a dash of espresso)

These cookies are so amazing! Instead of using chocolate chunks I used chocolate chips and it didn't really make a difference, they came out shiny and crackly, looking just like the recipe. I realized that when the brown sugar and eggs are mixed together it does not become fluffy..just in case any of you were wondering about that. I also used 1/4 of a cup more brown sugar.

These cookies are AMAZING! I bake cookies quite often, and these are by far the best chocolate cookies i have ever made. The recipe is easy to make and comes out exactly as pictured. The batter did seem extremely thin before mixing in the chocolate chunks. I added about 1/3 cup extra flour just to thicken it up. I definitely reccommend this recipe to the novice or experienced baker!

We all went nuts over this cookie! Days later the chocolate chips were still melty and the cookie was delightfully soft inside. I thought that the chocolate chips would be too decadent for me, so at the end I substituted about 2 ounces of semi-sweet chips for white chocolate ones - it perfectly balanced out the deep, chocolate taste of the cookies.

I am just finishing up with recipe and I type this. My cookies look like the picture provided. To those who have had trouble, you may have not whipped the egg and sugar mixture enough. Another thing to check is to make sure that your baking powder is fresh and not expired...simple, I know. Also, I hand mixed the flour in. It is more like a brownie batter, but it thickens as it sits. I added a teaspoon of peppermint extract instead of vanilla and it is a great addition!

My all time favorite chocolate cookie recipe. Don't worry about batter seeming flat - 1/2 way through the cooking process the cookies will "fluff." Oil works in place of butter if needed. Cookies are lighter in color than pictured. Any type of chocolate chip (chunk, morsels) will work.

These cookies were to die for!!! The key to making these cookies look just like the ones in the picture is: A) making sure you melt the chocolate first and giving it time to cool down B) make sure you REALLY BEAT your egg mixture or else the dough will be too thin C) making sure you don't over cook the cookie, if the dough is the texture of a brownie dough and you monitor its cooking time, the cookies should come out perfect! Hope these tips helped and that you all enjoy!

But they were still a hit with the girls in my dorm. So overall a good cookie.

To get scoopable dough, you must be VERY careful with your chocolate temperature. If it's just a few degrees too warm, you'll get a loose batter instead of dough. The chocolate should be the consistency of thick frosting before you add it to the flour mixture, so cool it off (stirring often) if necessary before that step.

If the dough came out too runny, add 2 medium eggs instead of 2 large eggs. I made this recipe twice. First time came out perfect, second time the dough is too runny so I add a bit more flour instead of substitute with 2 medium eggs. It came out great too.

If the batter turns out too runny, it's most likely because you didn't beat the eggs sufficiently. The eggs need to be beaten until light and fluffy - I had to beat mine on my stand mixer for about 4 minutes or so on medium to get enough air incorporated in them. I followed the recipe to the letter and my dough came out gooey, yes but not runny. I had no problem piling the dough high to make the cookies.

I followed this recipe to the letter. My cookie "dough" was very runny, more the consistency of cake batter than a cookie dough. When I spooned it onto the cookie sheet I found that it spread out quite a bit and as a result in the baking process the cookies came out quite thin. They are very chocolatey and taste nice but I didn't think mine looked very pretty. Not the best recipe I have tried so far.

I followed this recipe precisely, and the resulting batter was quite runny, so I was a little concerned. I went ahead and tried baking a few, and I found that despite the batter's thin consistency, the cookies baked up into lovely, glossy, super-chocolately cookies. The second time I made this recipe, I used 6 oz of bittersweet chocolate chunks and 6 oz chopped walnuts (instead of 12 oz chocolate chunks), and they were even more decadent.

I made the Gluten free version of this cookie. The only thing that I change was substituting the flour to cocoa powder. And the taste become decadent. Yummm.

these cookies are amazing and so simple to make. I'd almost say fail proof but not quite, I took them to a christmas party and they were a huge success! These are a must try!

After trying another chocolate cookie recipe with more than disappointing results (inedible and had to throw away!), I tried this recipe and must say, the results are Fabulous!! Worked best just using a cookie scoop and letting them be (got the nice crackly top and flatten a little, not as much as I initially would have liked or like the pic). I also tried to flatten them myself before baking but Don't Do That! They will not get that nice crackly top on it and taste as good.

Worth making!!! It's more expensive, but I use hershey candy bars that I chop up in chunks. II also add some white chocolate chips. Something about the white and chocolate together that gives it a special combination in this recipe. It's not a regular cookie that I would make, it's when I want to make that something special type of cookie when I make it this way.

This is my "go to" recipe for cookies. Everyone loves them! Be sure that all ingredients are at room temp before you start.
