Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F (160°C fan). Line 2 large baking sheets with baking paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the light brown sugar and white granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Stir in the flour mixture with a spatula until just combined.
6. Weigh out half the dough and transfer it to a separate bowl.
7. Mix the extra plain flour into one bowl of dough until combined. Mix the Dutch-processed cocoa powder into the other bowl until combined. Let both doughs rest for 10 minutes.
8. Scoop 1 tablespoon of each dough and stack one on top of the other. Press into a thick disk, break it in half, flip one half over, then press the two pieces back together at the tear and roll into a ball.
9. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
10. Bake one tray at a time on the middle rack for about 11 minutes. If you like, straight out of the oven, swirl a larger round cookie cutter around each cookie to round it.
11. Cool on the trays for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack with a spatula. They are done when cool: crisp at the edges and soft, chewy and fudgy in the middle.
