3 from my last batchIf you've been reading for awhile, you'll remember when I went to Martha Stewart's book signing back in February (if not, here is the post). She signed her Cookies cookbook for me (which is still one of my favorite cookbooks ever) and every so often (more like once every 2 days) I peruse the pages and pick out a new recipe to try. A few weeks ago I came across the recipe for the Double Chocolate Cookies, and seriously I may never try another cookie again. J asks for them all the time now (a request I rarely say no to since they are a-mazing) so I thought I would share the recipe with all of you so you could try these wonderful little bites of heaven for yourselves:)
Recipe via Martha Stewart
Double Chocolate Cookies
(makes 2-3 dozen depending on the size of the cookie)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 pound good-quality milk chocolate, 4 ounces coarsely chopped and 4 ounces cut into 1/4-inch chunks
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Melt 4 ounces coarsely chopped chocolate with the butter in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; let cool slightly.
- Put chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chunks.
- Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are flat and surfaces crack, about 15 minutes (cookies should be soft). Let cool on parchment on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.
Enjoy everyone!!
