Ingredients

  • 180 grams all purpose flour (1½ cups)
  • 25 grams cocoa powder (¼ cup)
  • 7 grams Dutch process cocoa powder (1 tablespoon)
  • 4 grams sea salt (½ teaspoon)
  • 3 grams baking soda (½ teaspoon)
  • 6 grams baking powder (1½ teaspoons)
  • 340 grams chocolate chips (12 ounces)
  • 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
  • 100 grams brown sugar (½ cup)
  • 50 grams granulated sugar (¼ cup)
  • 21 grams molasses (1 tablespoon)
  • 3 grams vanilla extract (½ teaspoon)
  • 150-180 grams stout, like Guinness (5-6 ounces)
  • finishing salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine the flour (180g), cocoa powder (25g), Dutch process cocoa powder (7g), salt (4g), baking soda (3g), baking powder (6g), and chocolate chips (340g) and whisk together.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the softened butter (113g), brown sugar (100g), and granulated sugar (50g) and mix on medium until whipped and fluffy.
  • Add the molasses (21g), vanilla (3g), and egg and combine.
  • Alternating and with the stand mixer on low-ish, add the flour mixture and the stout until all the flour mixture is added and most of the stout. (I added the full amount, and it worked, but it was a very loose dough.) If the consistency seems right, stop adding stout.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Heat oven to 350℉ / 175℃.
  • Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper. Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, scoop out 10-12 cookies per pan, keeping some separation as these will spread.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, turning half way through.
  • Remove from oven and remove to wire rack and sprinkle with a pinch of finishing salt.
