Chocolate Brownie Fudge Treats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chocolate Base

01 - Dark chocolate with 70% cocoa (7 ounces/200g, chopped into small pieces)
02 - Diced unsalted butter (½ cup/125g)

→ Sweeteners & Eggs

03 - White sugar (⅔ cup/150g)
04 - Soft brown sugar (½ cup/100g, not packed tightly)
05 - Two large eggs

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - Plain flour (1 cup/130g)
07 - Pure cocoa powder (3 tablespoons)
08 - Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
09 - Regular salt (¼ teaspoon)
10 - Flaky sea salt for topping (if you want)

# Instructions:

01 - Get everything measured out first, heat your oven to 350°F (180°C), and put parchment on your cookie sheets. Don't wait too long once you start mixing as the batter gets thick fast
02 - Put the butter and chocolate in a small pot over gentle heat, keep stirring until it's all smooth and melted. Then set it aside
03 - Grab your stand mixer with the whisk or an electric beater and whip up the eggs with both kinds of sugar. Run it at medium for exactly 5 minutes
04 - Turn down the mixer speed and slowly pour your melted chocolate mix in. Keep mixing for another minute until everything's blended
05 - Dump your pre-mixed dry stuff into the chocolate mixture and mix just enough to combine. Grab a spatula and give it one last scrape around the bowl
06 - Right away drop big scoops of dough onto your ready pans, making sure to leave room between them. Sprinkle some sea salt on top if you'd like
07 - Pop them in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they're crinkly and puffed up. They'll flatten a bit while cooling
08 - Let the cookies sit on the trays for at least 20 minutes because they'll be super soft when they first come out

# Notes:

01 - You'll get the shiniest, crinkliest tops by baking all cookies at once on one big sheet
02 - When using multiple trays, make sure to scoop all the dough right away before putting each batch in
03 - They taste amazing when they're still a little warm on day one
04 - You can store them in an airtight box for a few days
05 - They'll last in the freezer for many weeks
