Equipment

Ingredients

10 oz dark chocolate chips
½ cup butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

In a heavy-duty saucepan, melt butter and dark chocolate chips over low heat. Stir continuously until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
I used a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mixing sugars, salt, baking powder, flour, vanilla, and eggs on high speed for 5 minutes until thick and creamy.
With the mixer on slow speed, add melted chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips.
Preheat oven to 350°—line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool to the touch.
Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, place cookies on the lined cookie sheets. Space each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies between 9-11 minutes until the edges look baked. The cookies will still look a little undercooked in the middle. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets.
When the cookies are completely cool, serve and enjoy!

Notes

As the cookies cool, the crust will become crackly and shiny, and while the center may appear underbaked, the edges will be set.
If you want to make these cookies ahead of time, you have a few options. Baked cookies can be frozen for up to three months, while unbaked cookie dough balls can also be frozen for the same amount of time. If you choose to bake the frozen dough balls, add an additional minute to the baking time and there is no need to thaw the dough first. Keep in mind that cookies made from frozen dough balls may not spread as much during baking, so you may need to gently press down on them with a spoon about halfway through the bake time to help them spread properly.
