Time 2h45m

Yield about 50 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 recipe Chocolate Chip Blondies, recipe follows
2 (12-ounce) bags semisweet chocolate morsels, melted over double boiler for dipping
Fleur de sel, for decoration
White chocolate morsels, melted
Milk chocolate morsels, melted
Sprinkles
Chopped nuts
Cocoa powder
Powdered sugar
Turbinado sugar
Special equipment: toothpicks or wooden skewers
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch fine sea salt
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out 1 heaping teaspoon of Chocloate Chip Blondie mixture and roll it into a ball. Place onto the parchment paper and repeat with the remaining batter. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for at least 2 hours and up to 1 week. (Keep the truffles in the freezer only until needed prior to dipping in the chocolate, otherwise they will melt into the chocolate when they are dipped.)
  • Remove 1 baking sheet of truffles from the freezer and skewer your toothpick into the truffle ball and dip into the melted chocolate. Use a spatula to paint the chocolate onto the toothpick and place the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Remove the toothpick and cover up the hole. Sprinkle the truffle with some fleur de sel. Finish dipping all the truffles and garnish with desired toppings. Place them into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate to set up. They will keep for 1 week in refrigerator.
  • Cook's Note: You can omit dipping in chocolate and just dust in cocoa powder, powdered sugar and turbinado sugar. Have fun with the variations!
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch jelly roll pan with softened butter or cooking spray.
  • Beat your butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until it is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the brown and granulated sugars a little bit at a time, pouring them in on the side of the bowl. While you're adding your sugars, stop the mixer occasionally and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure that everything is fully mixed. Cream the butter and sugar mixture until it is light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. (Creaming creates air pockets in the dough, and therefore these blondies have a light and delicate texture.)
  • Whisk your flour, baking soda and sea salt in a bowl. Add your eggs 1 at a time, adding the second only after the first is fully incorporated. Once the second egg is fully incorporated, add your vanilla. Turn your mixer down to low speed and slowly add the flour/baking soda/sea salt mixture. Once the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the wet ingredients, add in all those chocolate chips. Your machine will seem to be struggling to mix in the chocolate chips because there are so many of them, but don't turn it up, leave it on low and allow it to fully mix the chips in. Spread your cookie dough into the prepared jelly roll.

1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/2 cup(s) Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Baking Chips, for melting into the cookie dough
2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
2 eggs
1/2 granulated sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/3 cup(s) Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Baking Chips, for mixing into the prepared cookie dough
2 -3 tablespoons coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350o 1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt 1 1/2 cup(s) Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Baking Chips, for melting into the cookie dough 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter 2 eggs 1/2 granulated sugar 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract 1/3 cup(s) Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Baking Chips, for mixing into the prepared cookie dough 2 -3 tablespoons coarse sea salt Directions In a heatproof bowl over a double boiler, melt chocolate and butter until smooth. Turn off the stove and let chocolate sit over warm water. Combine flour, baking powder and salt and mix to combine. In another bowl, mix together sugar and eggs, combine thoroughly with a whisk and slowly add the warm chocolate mixture. Stir to combine. Add vanilla extract and mix. Stir in flour mixture. Cool for a few minutes (if batter is warm, chocolate chips will melt). Stir in chocolate chips. Chill for 10-15 minutes. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop rounded tablespoons of batter and place on baking tray. Sprinkle each cookie lightly with a pinch of sea salt. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 7-8 minutes until the outside looks slightly cracked. Be very careful not to over bake cookies because they will continue to bake as they cool once removed from the oven. Cookies should be soft and gooey in the center. For a chunky and different twist add one of the following: ¾ cup toasted pecans or pistachios, ¼ cup chopped candied ginger or 1/3 cup sweetened coconut

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Sprinkle the cookies with sea salt before baking. This will add a delicious salty-sweet flavor.

Conclusion:

These chocolate truffle cookies with sea salt are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are rich, decadent, and easy to make. With their combination of chocolate, sea salt, and a hint of espresso powder, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
