CHOCOLATE WOWS!
Steps:
- Melt chocolate chips and butter. Beat eggs and sugar till light and lemon color (nice and fluffy). Reduce to low and add chocolate/butter mixture, flour, cocoa, bkg powder, vanilla, and salt. Beat till blended. Increase speed to medium, beat 2 minutes. Stir in nuts and remaining chips. Drop by heaping teaspoon onto greased cookie sheets. Spread batter slightly. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 325° till tops are shiny and cracked. Cool ON sheets for 10 minutes. Carefully remove to wire rack for complete cooling. The key here is to keep beating them. I have had friends who can't seem to get them other than runny, but I don't think they beat them enough or long enough. Pure chocolate heaven!
Tips:
- Always use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from burning.
- When making chocolate mousse, it's important to whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help to create a light and airy mousse.
- When baking chocolate cookies, be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- If you're making chocolate truffles, be sure to roll them in cocoa powder or chopped nuts before serving. This will help to prevent them from sticking to your hands.
Conclusion:
Chocolate is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts. By following the tips above, you can create delicious chocolate desserts that will impress your friends and family.
