CONTEST-WINNING CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE COOKIES
Here's a snack for serious chocolate lovers. These enticing cookies are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, somewhat bittersweet and very chocolaty. I usually make them to share at get-togethers. Otherwise, I'd eat them all myself! I'm always asked for the recipe. -Delaine Fortenberry, McComb, Mississippi

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE COOKIES
A very dark, rich chocolate cookie for the true chocoholic. This recipe uses relatively little flour, resulting in dense, fudge-like cookies. These cookies keep well in the freezer (but you may have a hard time waiting for them to thaw before you eat them).

TRUFFLE COOKIES
Steps:
- Melt unsweetened chocolate, butter, and 1 cup chocolate chips in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Cool. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat together sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Mix in melted chocolate mixture and then flour mixture at low speed until combined well. Stir in remaining cup chips. Chill, covered, until firm, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll heaping teaspoons of dough into 1-inch balls with dampened hands and arrange 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake in batches in middle of oven until puffed and set, about 10 minutes (cookies will be soft in center). Transfer to racks to cool.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. A good chocolate will have a smooth, creamy texture and a rich, dark flavor.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies to mix together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in the chocolate ganache. This will help the ganache to set properly.
