Instructions
- Butter Magic:
- Melt butter halfway, then whisk to fully liquefy.
- Sweet Fusion:
- Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla. Whisk thoroughly for one minute.
- Egg Elevation:
- Add the egg and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Dry Mix Alchemy:
- Stir in baking powder, baking soda, both cocoas, and flour. Mix until no dry spots remain.
- Chill & Rest:
- Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prep for Greatness:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop & Shape:
- Portion dough into 1.5 tbsp rounds, leaving space for spreading.
- Chocolate Crown:
- Place a 1-inch square of white chocolate on each dough ball, pressing gently.
- Bake to Brilliance:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies spread, crackle, and the white chocolate begins to caramelize at the edges.
- Cool & Enjoy:
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet before devouring! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- Using high-quality white chocolate ensures a creamy, rich contrast to the dark cookie.
- Chilling the dough enhances the texture and deepens the flavors.
- These cookies freeze well—store dough balls in the freezer and bake as needed.
- Slightly underbaking keeps them soft and chewy!
