Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield about 2 dozen large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey's or Scharffen Berger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
11 ounces (1 bag) semisweet chocolate chunks
1 cup dried cherries. optional

Steps:

  • Position racks in the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. (If you don't have 3 pans, simply cool the pan between batches.)
  • Put the butter and the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 75 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir and heat again until melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolates and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
  • Stir the light brown and granulated sugars and vanilla into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
  • In another bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cherries, if using.
  • Drop the batter in heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets--a small ice cream scoop is ideal for this. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies set but are soft and fudgy on the inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve.
  • Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to a week.

CHOCOLATE CLOVE DROPS



Chocolate Clove Drops image

Interesting flavor chocolate and cloves. That's why they are great for the holidays - it just reminds me of Christmas. Try them with a good strong cup of cappuccino and relax. Note: The vegetable shortening should be melted and cooled. Don't over bake the cookie should still be a little soft (not mushy) when you take it out of the oven.

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Treat

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes about 200, enough for 20-40 gifts

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g dark chocolate (we used 70% cocoa content)
a pinch of hot chilli powder
red edible glitter (we used splatcooking.com)
200g milk chocolate (we used Green & Black's cook's chocolate with extra cocoa butter)
an eighth of a tsp flaky sea salt
25g pistachios , finely chopped
200g white chocolate
crystallised rosé petals (we used squires-shop.com)

Steps:

  • For the dark chilli drops: break the chocolate into chunks and melt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, line a few flat baking trays with baking parchment. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the chilli powder. Use a teaspoon to drop 'drops' of the chocolate onto the baking parchment. Every 10 or 20 drops, scatter over a small amount of red glitter before the chocolate sets. Leave to set in a cool place, but do not put in the fridge.
  • For the salted pistachio drops: melt the chocolate and prepare baking parchment as before. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the salt, then make drops as above, topping with chopped pistachios.
  • For the white chocolate drops: carefully melt the chocolate as above. Make drops, as above. Once they are partially set, top each with a crystallised rose petal.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your drops will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use fresh cloves. Ground cloves will not provide the same flavor as fresh cloves. If you can't find fresh cloves, you can use ¼ teaspoon of ground cloves, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the drops tough. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the batter before scooping. This will help the drops hold their shape better.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the baking sheet. This will help you get evenly sized drops.
  • Bake the drops until they are set and the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the drops dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Chocolate clove drops are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them dark, milk, or white chocolate, with a little bit of clove or a lot, these drops are sure to please everyone.
