Makes about 3 dozen
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
6 oz. unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 Tbs. vanilla extract
6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
Beat the brown sugar, sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla and the melted chocolate, and blend well.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Mix in the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Drop spoons of batter onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before removing them from the cookie sheet.
