Total Time: 18 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 bites
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bites tough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still appear slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the chocolate bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the bites will have a soft, chewy texture with a rich chocolate flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • For the most consistent results, use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size and even baking. • Do not overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough chocolate bites. • Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the mixture. • Check your bites at the 7-minute mark to prevent overcooking—they should look slightly soft in the center. • Allow the bites to cool completely to achieve the perfect soft and chewy texture. • For extra indulgence, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate after cooling. • Store in an airtight container to maintain their soft texture for up to 3 days.
