CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Provided by Shiran

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) yogurt
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate or chocolate chips
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
  • Make the donuts: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk egg with sugar until well combined. Add milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Fill donut cavities with batter ¾ way full using a spoon or a piping bag (much easier). Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then remove donuts from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
  • Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
  • Donuts are best eaten the same day or keep them for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Provided by Amanda Jean

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 10m

Yield 6 dozen, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 ounces squares unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon chocolate extract (if you can't find it, use vanilla)
3/4 cup sour cream
2 cups flour (packed down)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecan pieces
frosting
2 ounces squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cream (about) or 2 teaspoons milk (about)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, rack in the middle position.
  • Line cookie sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray. Leave little "ears" of foil sticking up on the sides, large enough to grab later.
  • Unwrap squares of chocolate and break them apart. Put them in a small microwave safe bowl, melt them for 90 seconds on high. Stir them until they're smooth and set aside to cool while you mix up your cookie dough.
  • Combine butter and sugars together. Beat on medium speed until smooth. (Less than a minute).
  • Add baking soda and salt, resume beating on medium for another minute, or until incorporated.
  • Add egg and beat on medium until the batter is smooth (another minute).
  • Add the peppermint and chocolate extracts, and mix for about 30 seconds.
  • Shut off the mixer and scrape the bowl. Then add melted chocolate and mix again for another minute on medium speed.
  • Shut off mixer and scrape down bowl again. At low speed, mix in half of the flour. Once incorporated, mix in sour cream.
  • Scrape down bowl again, add the rest of the flour and beat until fully incorporated.
  • Stir bowl with a spoon a few times. Mix in pecan pieces by hand.
  • Use a teaspoon to spoon the dough onto the foil-lined cookie sheets, 12 cookies to a sheet. (If dough is too sticky, chill for half an hour and try again.).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until they rise and are firm.
  • Slide the foil from the cookie sheets and onto a wire rack. Let the cookies cool on the rack while the next sheet is baking. When the next sheet is ready, pull them onto the counter/table and slide the new foil onto the rack. Keep alternating until all dough is baked.
  • When all the cookies are cool, set them out on wax paper for frosting.
  • FROSTING.
  • Put broken chocoalte squares into a microwave safe bowl. Melt on high for 90 seconds. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  • When chocolate is cool, mix in the butter. Then stir in the powdered sugar.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and the cream. Beat the frosting until it's of spreading consistency. (This is no-fail frosting, if it's too thick add more cream, too thin, add more powdered sugar).
  • Frost your cookies and leave them on the waxed paper until the frosting has hardened.
  • When the frosting has hardened, arrange the cookies on a pretty platter. They store well in a covered container, when separated by wax paper.
  • If you don't have time to frost, coat the cookies with powdered sugar while they're still warm. Do a second sprinkling once cool.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chocolate softies turn out perfectly, make sure to use good quality chocolate chips. Avoid using chocolate chips that contain vegetable oils or other additives.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Just be sure to stir constantly so that the chocolate doesn't burn.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your chocolate softies, such as nuts, dried fruit, or even a scoop of ice cream. Just be creative and have fun!
  • If you want your chocolate softies to be extra gooey, use more chocolate chips. You can also add a splash of milk or cream to the batter.
  • Be sure to chill your chocolate softies for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and become firm.

Conclusion:

Chocolate softies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover chocolate chips. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
