Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate chips (sugar-free optional)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Other Ingredients:
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking environment by warming the oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F, ensuring an even heat distribution for optimal cookie development.
- Create a decadent mixture by blending granulated sugar with melted butter, incorporating rich cocoa powder, velvety chocolate chips, a delicate touch of salt, and a luxurious drizzle of chocolate syrup until a dense, uniform dough emerges.
- Craft uniform cookie spheres by gently scooping and rolling the prepared dough into compact, perfectly proportioned balls.
- Position the raw cookie formations on a well-greased baking surface, ensuring adequate spacing between each potential treat.
- Rapidly chill the shaped dough in the freezer, allowing the spheres to firm and maintain their structural integrity during the baking process.
- Slide the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the cookies to transform for approximately 10 minutes, recognizing that a slightly underdone appearance indicates ideal textural development.
- Exercise patience by allowing the freshly baked cookies to rest and solidify completely on the original baking surface, giving them a minimum of 20 minutes to cool and set their delicate structure.
- Delicately liberate the cooled cookies from the baking sheet using a precise offset spatula, ensuring each piece maintains its exquisite form and rich, fudgy character.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and creates a more fudgy, dense texture that chocolate lovers will adore.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure all ingredients like chocolate chips are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips for an intensely rich chocolate flavor that elevates these decadent cookies.
- Slightly underbaking gives these cookies their signature fudgy center, so trust the recipe and resist overcooking.
