Fudgy Chocolate Cookies Draft

How I make it

1. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).

2. In a stand mixer with the paddle, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.

3. Add the melted chocolate and mix until even.

4. Add the vanilla and the egg and mix until smooth.

5. Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking soda, add the salt and mix as briefly as possible, just until combined.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips so they're evenly spread through the dough.

7. Drop small rounds of dough with 2 teaspoons or a small cookie scoop, about ¾ inch (2 cm) apart, and flatten them slightly with your fingers.

8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking the cookies after 10 minutes.

9. Let cool and serve.

What I've learned

• The cookies spread a little more as they bake, so I leave space between them.
• I make these very small, and mine are done after just 8 minutes.
