Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 Cup (c) all-purpose flour
• 0.25 Cup (c) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) sea salt
• 0.5 Cup (c) butter, divided
• 0.75 Cup (c) semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.67 Cup (c) brown sugar
• 0.5 Cup (c) white sugar
• 2 Whole eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) sea salt, to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon sea salt.
3. Heat the butter in a saucepan over low heat until melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chocolate chips and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add a small amount of the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined. Slowly incorporate the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.
5. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Drop six large scoops of batter about 2 inches apart onto each of the prepared baking sheets.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies have spread and flattened to a diameter of 4.5 inches or larger, and the tops are crinkled and puffed, about 12 to 14 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheets onto a wire rack. Immediately sprinkle the cookies with sea salt. Let cool for 18 to 20 minutes, then use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a serving platter.
