Melt the butter and chocolate

• Melt the butter and chocolate together in a small pot on the stove over low heat.
• Stir until smooth, then set aside.

Whip the sugars and eggs

• Whip the brown sugar, granulated sugar and eggs together.
• Whisk for 3-4 minutes until shiny and pale; this creates the crackly brownie top.

Combine the wet ingredients

• Pour the melted chocolate and butter into the egg and sugar mixture.
• Add the vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined.

Mix the dry ingredients

• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

Make the dough

• Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
• Let the dough sit at room temperature.

Scoop the cookies

• Scoop about 2 tbsp of cookie dough per cookie onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake

• Bake at 350F for 9-11 minutes; don't over bake, the cookies will set as they cool.
• While still hot, use a small round bowl or cup to shape the cookies.

Serve

• Serve the cookies over vanilla ice cream and enjoy.
