Time 1h10m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sugar
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup good semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
1 cup milk chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
16 ounces semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a mixer, cream the sugar and butter until fluffy, scraping the sides once. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl, then add in batches to the mixer, mixing until just combined after each addition. Gently mix in the semisweet, milk and white chocolate chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop, add generous 1-tablespoon portions of dough to a baking sheet (about 12 portions). Repeat with the remaining dough and additional baking sheets. Dot the top of each cookie with 2 to 3 chocolate chips if you'd like them to really show up on top. Bake until the cookies are barely done and are still soft and chewy, 9 to 11 minutes. Don't overbake! Let cool on a baking rack.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  • Dip the cookies one by one into the melted chocolate to coat, then transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets to set.

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla together until smooth. In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda together and add to the buttermilk mixture, stir until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overework the batter, If there are lumps, they will disappear during baking baking. The less you work the batter, the more tender the pies will be.
  • Fill 6 nonstick muffin top cups with the batter. Bake for 10 minutes in the center of the oven. To prevent the pies from getting soggy after baking, remove the cooked muffins from their cups and cool them on a rack. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To make the chocolate shell easier to work with, melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave in short increments, stirring in between, until it is smooth and glossy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup for doneness by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is ready.
  • When dipping the balls in the chocolate, make sure to coat them evenly and completely. You can use a spoon or a fork to help you do this.
  • Place the dipped balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool and harden completely before serving.
  • Store the cow pie candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
