Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheets
- Silicone Baking Mat
- Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Salted Butter Softened
- ¾ Cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg Room Temp
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup Flour
- ½ Cup Dark Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tsp Cornstarch
- ¾ Tsp Baking Soda
- Finishing Salt Kosher Salt also works
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line your baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and cornstarch.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar together until it's light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to mix it until it's combined.
- Add the dry mix to the wet mix and mix until it's a thick, fudge-like dough.
- Scoop 1 tbsp at a time and roll into balls. Arrange these on the baking sheets with enough space for them to spread as they bake. Top each ball with a pinch or so of finishing salt.
- Bake for about 9 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are set and the centers look slightly under-done. They'll finish cooking on the cookie sheet as they cool.
