Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Double Dark Chocolate Brownie Cookies


Double Dark Chocolate Brownie Cookies
1 cup flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces good-quality dark chocolate (4 ounces coarsely chopped, 4 ounces cut into 1/4-inch chunks)
1/2 cup butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment.
Melt 4 ounces of chocolate with the butter in a double boiler until smooth and shiny. Set the bowl of melted chocolate aside to cool slightly. In a separate bowl whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and set aside.
When the chocolate has cooled, pour it, along with the sugar, eggs and vanilla, into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Fold in chocolate chunks.
Use a small ice cream scoop to make balls of dough and space them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets, as these cookies will spread while baking. Bake the cookies for approximately 15 minutes, the cookies will be soft, flat and slightly cracked - do not overbake or the cookies will be hard and dry. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Cool the cookies on wire racks.
