DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These are the ultimate chocolate cookies. Yes, it's a bold claim, but with dark chocolate mixed in at three different steps-we'll stand behind it. First, bittersweet chocolate chips (60 percent cacao-the real plant from which chocolate is made) get melted into the butter. Then a flour mixture featuring Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa powder-100 percent cacao-gets added. Finally, another 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips get stirred into the dough before baking, so every bite you take is bursting with melt-in-your-mouth bittersweet bursts. To keep all that deep, rich flavor balanced, cookies get rolled in granulated sugar before baking for a little extra sweetness and sparkle! Serve cookies with a tall glass of cold milk, and if that's not enough to satisfy your chocolate craving, nothing will be!

Time 2h20m

Yield 50

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups 60% cacao bittersweet dark chocolate chips (from two 10-oz bags)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup of the sugar. Pour into large bowl. Beat in eggs with spoon one at a time until blended. Beat in vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Shape dough into 50 (1 1/4 -inch) balls. Lightly butter hands if dough is sticky when shaping into balls. In small bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Roll balls in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets; flatten slightly. Discard sugar after rolling balls.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 20 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use good quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • If you don't have chai tea bags, you can make your own chai spice blend by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  • Let the dough chill for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The centers should be slightly soft and gooey.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
