INGREDIENTS

  • 5 ounces quality dark chocolate chopped
  • 9 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup Dutch processed cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add the chocolate and butter to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments until melted and smooth, stirring between each. Set aside to cool slightly.
    5 ounces quality dark chocolate, 9 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the sugar and eggs until very fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes. When you lift the whisk out of the mixture it should leave a ribbon on top that slowly disappears.
    3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs
  • Whisk the chocolate into the egg mixture and beat until just combined.
  • Add the cocoa powder and salt and beat again until combined. Cover the batter and chill for 1 hour or overnight. If chilling longer than 2 hours, let the batter sit at room temperature to soften slightly before scooping.
    1/3 cup Dutch processed cocoa, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Use a medium cookie scoop (2 Tablespoons) to scoop the dough then roll it into a ball. Use wet hands if the dough is sticky. Roll the dough into the powdered sugar and arrnage on the prepared baking sheet.
    1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Bake in preheated oven until puffed up and crackly on top, 8-10 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheet then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
