Ingredients:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (see recipe notes for dairy-free options)
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, sliced into 5 pieces (substitute with dairy-free butter if needed)
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (Cup4Cup gluten-free flour recommended)
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or miniature chips (for mixing into the batter)

Directions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   • Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
   • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Once mostly melted, remove from the heat and stir until completely smooth. Allow cooling slightly for about 5 minutes.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
   • Stir in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture until smooth.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
   • Sift in the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until no dry pockets remain.
   • Fold in the remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips.
5. Portion and Bake:
   • Using a medium cookie scoop or about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 14-15 minutes, or until the cookies are cracked on the surface and the edges are just set. Avoid overbaking to maintain their fudgy texture.
6. Cool:
   • Allow the cookies to set on the baking sheets for 10 minutes after removal from the oven before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes:

• Dairy-Free Modifications: For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter and chocolate chips with dairy-free alternatives available in most grocery stores.
• Serving and Storage: These cookies are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
