OUTRAGEOUS CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Outrageous Chocolate Cookies image

Don't bake these rich double-chocolate cookies to a crisp; they are meant to be soft and chewy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The cookies should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Conclusion:

Chocolate press cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. By following these tips, you can make perfect chocolate press cookies every time. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack.
