Dry Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon Dutch process unsweetened cocoa, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped recommended: 66-70% chocolate
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cubed

- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Place chopped chocolate and butter in a double boiler or in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Slowly melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Combine eggs, sugars, and vanilla in a large mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk together on medium speed for 5 minutes, until pale and doubled in volume.
Reduce speed to low and beat in melted chocolate for 1 minute. Add flour mixture and mix on low speed for 20 seconds, just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips (dough will resemble a gooey brownie batter).
Use a medium cookie scoop coated lightly with nonstick spray to form the cookies – invert the scoop just above the baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart (bake 10 cookies per baking sheet).
Bake cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until tops are shiny and crackly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky salt.
Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Brownie cookies are the most fudgy and tender when freshly baked. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. You can also freeze any leftover cookies for up to 2 weeks.
