DECADENT CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Decadent Chocolate Cookies image

Ok... So, sometimes a person just needs chocolate. When that happens, I go to this, my husband's recipe. Obviously he knows what it takes to make a me happy! These are sooo good and chocolatey...

Provided by Diane M.

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c shortening
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1/2 c sour cream
1 1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
3 c semi-sweet chocolate chips(divided)
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c chopped walnuts or pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Cream together the shortening with the brown sugar.
  • 2. Mix into the creamed mixture the egg, sour cream, and vanilla.
  • 3. Melt HALF(1 1/2 cups) of the chocolate chips in the microwave (in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until almost melted, then stop. It will continue melting) Add to the creamed mixture.
  • 4. In separate bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add to the creamed mixture, stirring until smooth.
  • 5. Fold in nuts and remaining(1 1/2 cups) chocolate chips (or can substitute peanut butter chips instead). Chill dough for about 1/2 hour.
  • 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place heaping tsps of dough on greased cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 mins, or just until set up. Do not overbake, cookies will still be a bit soft because of all the chocolate. Let cool for a few mins on the cookie sheet before placing on cooling racks. Wrap these babies in pretty containers and deliver to your friends with a carton of milk! They will love you!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for butter with a high fat content (82% or higher), pure vanilla extract, and good-quality chocolate.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for baking, as even a small mistake can affect the outcome of the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough 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 in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cookies. For chewy cookies, bake them at a lower temperature (350°F) for a longer period of time. For crispy cookies, bake them at a higher temperature (375°F) for a shorter period of time.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These are just a few tips for making delicious decadent cookies. With a little practice, you'll be able to create your own signature cookie recipes that will impress your friends and family. So get baking and enjoy the sweet rewards!
