Buddha Bellies image

Yummy huge moist cookies that you eat for good luck. These are so named not because they will puff up like a 'belly' shape when baked, but because these are so good, if you don't eat them in moderation, YOU will! Some folks have even been known to shout.... "I want a Buddha Belly!" ;)

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
7 large eggs
2 3/4 cups sugar
2 cups walnuts, chopped
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or use non-stick cooking spray. Sift flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the instant coffee and boiling water to make a paste. Blend in the vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Melt the chopped Unsweetened Chocolate, chopped Bittersweet Chocolate and the butter in a saucepan over medium low heat or in the microwave for 15 to 20 second intervals. Gently stir to blend.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together the eggs, sugar and coffee paste mixture on high speed until light in texture and thick, 6 to 8 minute.
  • Add the chocolate mixture with the machine running on medium speed. On low speed mix in the dry ingredients until just blended. Mix in the walnuts and chocolate chips to blend. Scrape down the bowl as needed during mixing to blend evenly.
  • Using a 1/4 cup-measuring scoop fill it with dough, level, and drop the dough on to a prepared cookie sheet leaving 3 to 4 inches between the cookies. Bake (in batches if neccessary) until the cookies are cracked on top but still slightly moist, about 14 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the cookie sheet before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

These Buddha Bellies are a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have rice in my fridge and these are a great way to use it up. They're also very affordable to make.

These Buddha Bellies are the perfect make-ahead meal. I made them on the weekend and then reheated them for dinner during the week. They were just as delicious as when I first made them.

I made these Buddha Bellies for my Meatless Monday dinner and they were a hit! Even my husband, who is a meat-lover, enjoyed them.

I love that these Buddha Bellies are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option without sacrificing any flavor.
