Step 1

In a medium sized bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk it all together and set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave safe bowl, add butter and 1/2 of the chocolate chips or chunks. Microwave in 30 second intervals until everything is melted.

Step 3

In a large bowl, add eggs, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer until fully incorporated. Then add chocolate mixture and continue to mix together.

Step 4

Add flour mixture and continue to mix for 3 minutes until everything is well combined. Gently fold in remaining chunks/chips. Place bowl with batter in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and thicken (important).

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Scoop out batter and roll into balls (wet hands first!) about 1.5″ in diameter. Place on parchment at least 3 inches apart. With hands still wet, press batter down to about 1/4″ thick. Add additional chips or chunks to tops of cookies.

Step 7

Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely before removing from pan.
