INGREDIENTS | 18 PCS

230g Salted Butter, softened
½ cup Granulated White Sugar
1 cup Fine Brown Sugar
⅔ cup Dark Chocolate (50-60%), melted
2 Large Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Essence
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda

PREPARATION
1) Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the granulated white sugar & fine brown sugar and beat for another minute.
2) Microwave dark chocolate in 20-30secs increments until it is getting smooth but there are still some lumps. Let it sit for 1min, then stir until it is completely smooth. Beat the chocolate into the butter mixture.
3) Add eggs and vanilla and beat well, scraping the edges and bottom of the bowl. Mix flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together with a small spoon and beat them into the mixture.
4) When the dough is starting to come together, add the chocolate chips. Beat in the chocolate chips and mix until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated.
5) Cover the mixing bowl and put it in the freezer for 30mins. Take it out and shape the dough using a ¼ measuring cup. Pack the dough into a quarter cup, then turn out and use your hands to shape them into "tall" cookies.
6) Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place cookies on a baking sheet at least 2” apart and bake for 10-11mins.
