Time 28m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup rice flour (glutinous or white-or flour of choice)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (feel free to use semi sweet or milk chocolate or dark)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup pecans
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (feel free to try semi sweet or milk chocolate or dark)
2 sheets parchment paper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350*F.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside. Place 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwavable bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate butter mixture and microwave again for 30 seconds. Continue to microwave and stir until the chips have melted and the mixture is smooth, set aside.
  • In a heatproof bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla thoroughly and set the bowl over a pot of just barely simmering water using it as a double broiler. Continue to whisk everything until the mixture is lukewarm.
  • Combine the egg and chocolate mixture (should be lukewarm) stirring until they are well combined.
  • Add the flour mixture, 6 ounces chocolate chips, and pecans. The batter will look like thick cake batter. Don't worry, after they bake they will look like and taste like cookies!
  • Scoop the dough (it will look wet and sloppy) into rounded tablespoons on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 14 minutes until the surface of the cookies looks dry and set. With the cookies still on the parchment paper, slide them onto racks to cool. Gently peel the parchment paper back after cookies have cooled for at least 30 minutes.

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 10

● 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
● 1/4 tsp baking powder
● 1/8 tsp salt
● 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
● 2 tbsp unsalted butter
● 2 large eggs
● 1/2 cup sugar
● 1 tsp vanilla extract
● 2 cups walnuts or pecans, optional
● 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped in to chunks

Steps:

  • Directions: Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350℉. Line two cookie sheets with parchment or wax paper. In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together thoroughly. Set aside. Place the 8 ounces of chocolate and the butter in a large heatproof bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water and stir frequently just until melted and smooth. Remove the chocolate from the skillet and set it aside. Leave the heat on under the skillet. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla together thoroughly. Set the bowl in the skillet and stir until te mixture is lukewarm to the touch. Stir the eggs into the warm but not hot chocolate. Stir the flour mixture, then the nuts and chocolate chunks. Scoop slightly rounded tablespoons of batter 1 1/2 inches apart on to the cookie sheets. Bake until the surface of the cookies looks dry and set but the center is still gooey, 12 to 14 minutes. If you used parchment paper, carefully slide the cookies, still on the parchment, onto racks or set the pans on the racks. Otherwise, let the cookies firm up on the pans for a minute, then transfer them to racks with a metal pancake turner. Let cool completely. Store in a tightly sealed container. http://slowlikehoney.net/2009/12/28/a-sweet-return/

Tips for Baking Decadent Bittersweet Cookies:

  • Chill Your Dough: Chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: The quality of the chocolate chips or chocolate used in these cookies greatly impacts the final flavor. Opt for high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% for an intense chocolate experience.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Properly creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy incorporates air into the mixture, leading to a more tender and flavorful cookie.
  • Measure Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a precise science, and measuring ingredients accurately is essential for success. Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the cookie dough can result in tough, dense cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake Cookies Until Set: Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can dry out the cookies and make them less enjoyable.
  • Let Cookies Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing or enjoying them. This helps the cookies firm up and develop their full flavor.
