Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth and melted.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract on high for about 7 minutes until thick and pale.
  5. Gradually add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar and egg mix, stirring gently until combined.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into your chocolate mixture using a spatula until no visible flour remains.
  7. Scoop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until tops have formed a crackled surface.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
