Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
  • 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Silicone Baking Mat or Parchment Paper
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the eggs. Using a whisk, beat until thick, pale, and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Add the canola oil and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix; just ensure everything is combined.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze cookies for longer storage, ensuring they are well-wrapped.
  • To reheat, microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
