180 g (6.3 oz) chocolate
40 g (1.4 oz) brown sugar
40 g (1.4 oz) sugar

Step-by-Step Soft Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Making your own Soft Chocolate Cookies isn’t just satisfying; it’s also super simple! Follow these easy steps:

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the white sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture becomes foamy and light.
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter together over low heat, stirring frequently to combine.
Once melted, fold the chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, mixing well until fully incorporated.
Sift in the semi-coarse flour and baking powder, and stir until a smooth dough forms.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and gently place it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread.
Lightly sprinkle the tops of the chocolate stacks with coarse sea salt for that perfect sweet-and-salty balance.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve & Enjoy These Soft Chocolate Cookies

These Soft Chocolate Cookies are best served warm, right out of the oven, but they also taste incredible at room temperature. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience. You can also plate them up for a special treat at gatherings or enjoy them as a cozy afternoon snack with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.

Helpful Tricks for Soft Chocolate Cookies

Storage: Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, and they’ll stay soft for several days. You can also freeze the cookie dough for later use—just thaw and bake when the craving strikes!
Chocolate Variation: Feel free to mix different types of chocolate—dark, milk, or even white chocolate chips—for a unique twist on your cookies.
Add-Ins: Consider adding nuts or a handful of dried fruit to the dough for added texture and flavor.

Soft Chocolate Cookies: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chocolate chips instead of chocolate bars?
Absolutely! Chocolate chips are a great substitute, and they can add extra chocolatey goodness to your cookies.

Why are my cookies not soft?
Make sure not to overbake! The cookies should be slightly undercooked when you take them out, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.

How can I make them more decadent?
Try adding a drizzle of melted chocolate on top or placing a few chocolate chunks in the center of the cookies right before baking for that gooey surprise!
