Time 1h

Yield Makes 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (scant 1 2/3 cups)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, and baking soda; set aside.
  • Place unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup semisweet chips, and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water. Cook until chocolate begins to melt, about 5 minutes. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool 3 minutes.
  • Add sugars and, with a rubber spatula, stir until sugars dissolve, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. With spatula, fold in flour mixture just until flour is absorbed. Fold in remaining semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Scoop dough by level 1/4-cupfuls onto baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Bake until cookies are set at edges but still soft in center, 11 minutes (do not overbake), rotating sheets halfway through.
  • Let cookies cool on sheets on wire racks, 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely, 30 minutes. (Store cookies in an airtight container, up to 2 days.)
