My DH lovingly refers to these as "Those" chocolate cookies, and without saying, I know which ones he is talking about. I call them chocolate pills. They cure just about anything that ails me. Recipe by Ann Hodgman.

Time 1h25m

Yield 36-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
9 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso powder (optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
9 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Place a metal bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and add the first three ingredients.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring, until they are almost melted, then remove from heat.
  • Continue to stir until they have all melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
  • In another large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar, using a mixer, for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Add the espresso power if using (I like these better without), also the vanilla, and beat for 2 additional minutes.
  • Stir in the melted chocolate until it is evenly mixed, then add the flour/baking powder/salt mixture.
  • When that is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate the batter for 20-25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Drop chilled batter by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the parchment lined cookie sheets about 2-inches apart.
  • Bake cookies, one baking sheet at a time, for approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • When done, cookies may appear cracked and shiny on top.
  • Allow cookies to rest for a few minutes, the place on a cookie rack to complete cooling.
  • Store any cooking you are not eating right away in the freezer or refrigerator, not the cookie jar.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time and frozen. It's so convenient to have a batch of fresh-baked cookies on hand whenever I need them.

I've tried many chocolate cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of chocolate chips.

I love the chewiness of these cookies. They're not too crispy and not too soft. They're just right!
