MOCHA ALMOND COOKIES



Mocha Almond Cookies image

Rolling the cookie dough in confectioners' sugar twice builds the marbled appearance of these crackled cookies.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 teaspoons instant espresso
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1/4 cup finely ground blanched almonds
1 tablespoon milk
Confectioners' sugar, for coating

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, espresso, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until well combined; mix in cooled chocolate. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture, then ground almonds; beat in milk until just combined. Flatten dough into a disk; wrap in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Pour confectioners' sugar (about 1/2 cup) into a medium bowl; working in batches, roll each ball in confectioners' sugar twice, letting each sit in sugar between coatings.
  • Place on prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies have spread and coating is cracked, 12 to 14 minutes; cookies will still be soft to the touch. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate used will significantly impact the cookies' flavor, so opt for a good quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can result in tough, dry cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and avoid overworking the dough.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies spread less and gives them a chewier texture. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help create a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior. Bake the cookies at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Dark mocha cookies are a delicious and indulgent treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their rich chocolate flavor and soft and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Whether you are a chocolate lover or just looking for a new and exciting cookie recipe, dark mocha cookies are definitely worth trying.
