Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate, high-quality, semi-sweet
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate with butter over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl until completely smooth.
- Mix the sugars and eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until pale and fluffy.
- Combine chocolate and egg mixtures: Gradually pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar blend until fully integrated.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients: Sift together gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Chill the dough: Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Shape the cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop out walnut-sized portions and roll into balls, then roll each in powdered sugar.
- Bake and cool: Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps maintain moisture and shape. Do not overmix to keep the cookies fudgy.
