Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 8 oz milk chocolate divided in half, roughly chopped, half chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • In a a double boiler set over a pan of simmering water, add the butter and 1/2 of the roughly chopped milk chocolate. Stir until it melts and remove from heat.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix on high speed until combined, about a minute.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Fold in remaining chocolate chunks.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Scoop out the dough with a tablespoon and form into balls with your hands. I use a weigh scale and make them 30 grams. If using a cookie scoop, this would be a medium sized cookie scoop. Place on baking tray at least 3 inches apart. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. The cookies will be soft when you remove them from the oven.
  • Leave to cool for 15 minutes on the baking tray. Use you decorative sugar eyes to gently press into the cooled cookies. Remove from tray and transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat for all cookies.
