PATTI'S HOLIDAY CHOCOLATE DELIGHTS



Patti's Holiday Chocolate Delights image

Provided by Food Network

Time 47m

Yield about 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
48 chocolate-covered almonds (dark, milk or white chocolate) (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • To Make Ahead: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Fudgy, brownielike and decadent, these fantastic cookies will satisfy any chocolate lover. Managing Editor Wendy Ruopp shares her friend's recipe for these fantastic cookies with us:
  • Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave on Medium in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst to ensure even melting, until completely melted. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water, stirring constantly.) Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until creamy. Add the melted chocolate; beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients with a spoon until just combined. Refrigerate the dough until barely chilled, 15 minutes.
  • Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350degreesF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies, one batch at a time, until puffed and slightly dried on top, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently press an almond into the center of each cookie. Let cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow the pan to cool slightly between batches.
  • Recipe Tips & Notes:
  • 1. Chocolate drizzle anyone?
  • 2. Melted dark and white chocolate drizzled on top of cookies is a special treat. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving on High in 30-second bursts until two-thirds of the chocolate has melted, stirring well after each burst. Remove the bowl and continue stirring until all the chocolate has melted. Cool for 5 minutes at room temperature. Use a pastry bag fitted with a fine writing tip to pipe the melted chocolate or dip tines of a fork in chocolate and drizzle.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: CRISPY, CRUNCHY DELIGHTS



CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: CRISPY, CRUNCHY DELIGHTS image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup of butter, softened
1 1/4 cups of white granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 cups of chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 degrees. Cream together your butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Beat in the flour, baking soda and salt. When that is done, fold in the two cups of chocolate chips by hand, and prepare to put them on some parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Roll a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball, 12 per cookie sheet. Take a glass and using the bottom, flatten out each cookie. If the cookie sticks, start wetting the bottom of the glass with water, they will come right off. Flatten each of them as much as you can. This is a dry dough – no sticky chewiness going on here- but it’s just wet enough to make perfect little flat cookie patties. Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on the sheets completely.

  • Add other flavors to your chocolate: Chocolate pairs well with a variety of other flavors, such as vanilla, coffee, nuts, and fruits. Experiment with different flavor combinations to create unique and delicious desserts.
