Any chocolate lover would cherish this Double Chocolate cookie. This cookie has chocolate in all forms. I am not a big chocolate person but this cookie got my taste buds too. I need to confess that I was not in my best form when I began to make this cookie. My son wanted to help me in the kitchen and hence started thinking about what he could make with me. I decided to try one of the recipes that I came across on the Internet. All this happened after dinner at about 8.30 pm and we began the chocolate journey. Preparation time - 30 minsCooking time - 15 mins/batch of cookiesDifficulty level - Easy/Intermediate
Ingredients to make Double Chocolate Cookies -
All-purpose Flour - 1 cup Unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder - ½ cup Baking soda - ½ tsp Salt - ½tsp Coarsely chopped good quality Milk chocolate - 4 oz (I used Hershey’s Milk chocolate) Semi-sweet chocolate chip - ½ cup Unsalted butter - ½ cup (1 stick) Sugar - 1 ½ cups Eggs - 2 large Vanilla extract - 1tsp
Procedure
Preheat Oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
Melt 4 Oz of milk chocolate(Chopped) with butter in a small heat-proof vessel set over a pan of simmering water. (Do not attempt to melt chocolate directly as chocolate burns very easily). let it cool to room temperature.
Mix Chocolate mixture, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
Reduce speed to low and gradually mix in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chip at the end and mix gently.
Using a tablespoon measure and drop the dough on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are flat and surface crack (Around 13 - 15 mins). These cookies are soft. Baking them longer makes them harder.
Cool the Double Chocolate Cookies on wire racks and store them layered in parchment in an airtight container at room temperature.
I see these cookies as an intermediate between Brownie and Cookie. My son loved them and it has made its grand entry into my keeper’s list.
