TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Triple Chocolate Cookies image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 2 to 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder, such as Medaglia D'Oro
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, slightly softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup best-quality white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate and espresso powder in a medium bowl and place over a pot of simmering water and melt, whisking occasionally, until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper, or into a small bowl, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until lightly and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract, and beat on high speed for 1 minute. On low speed beat in the melted chocolate mixture until just combined. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in the pecans and chips. The batter will be loose. Cover and refrigerate until just firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1 tablespoon size), scoop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, putting 8 cookies on each sheet. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. The surface will be dry and shiny but the tops and insides will still be soft. It will take no longer than 10 to 11 minutes so set the time. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool 5 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining batter. These cookies are best eaten the day they are made. Wrap leftovers well in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY COOKIES



Triple Chocolate Cherry Cookies image

These are fantastic cookies that stay soft for days and days. Perhaps they are more adult friendly though. I can't remember what magazine my friend and I tried them from, but I won't ever forget the taste! If you can't find dried cherries, feel free to try a different dried fruit... perhaps cranberries. When using cherries, I cut them up into more palatable sizes, like the size of chocolate chips.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Large or small, these triple chocolate cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Refrigerating the batter for 48 hours before baking is ideal, as this allows the dough to fully form its flavor.

Provided by Josh Graham

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes     White Chocolate

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 (3 ounce) bar dark chocolate, cut into chunks
3 tablespoons white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until a creamy, deep brown mixture forms. Add egg and vanilla; beat until mixture lightens and becomes smooth, 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add slowly to the wet ingredients until mostly incorporated, but some white traces of flour remain. Fold in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate using a spatula, not the mixer. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to bake.
  • Divide cold dough into 2 1/4-ounce portions and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges start to look golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake; the centers will not look fully done. Cool until cookies are set, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle the white chocolate ganache over the cookies.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips in place of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Garnish the cookies with additional white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before serving.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
