Muscovado Cocoa Chip Cookies image

Molasses-heavy muscovado sugar and intense bittersweet chocolate create an insanely fudgy texture in these crave-worthy cookies. The secrets to perfecting these cookies are: avoid over-mixing the dough, baking straight from frozen and pulling the cookies from the oven when they're almost underdone to avoid over-cooking.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 cups (6 ounces) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/3 cup (1 ounce) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup (7 5/8 ounces) dark muscovado sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup (2 ounces) chopped bittersweet chocolate (60- to 70-percent cacao)

Steps:

  • Line a 12-by-17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add 2/3 cup of the sugar and beat until light in color and texture, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until the egg is fully absorbed and the mixture lightens in color, 1 minute more. Reduce the speed to low and gradually stir in the flour mixture just until combined (avoid over-mixing or the cookies will be dry!). Stir in the chocolate.
  • Use a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets- 12 cookies per sheet, evenly spaced (the cookies won't spread too much during baking). Freeze until the dough is solid, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position a rack to the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Roll the dough balls in the remaining 1/3 cup sugar to coat completely.
  • Bake the cookies just until they are slightly puffed and the edges can be lifted off the parchment with a fingertip, but the cookies look somewhat underdone and soft towards the center, 10 minutes, being careful not to over-bake. Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheet set over a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

I'm not a huge fan of muscovado sugar, but I thought these cookies were still pretty good.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either.

The cookies didn't spread out as much as I thought they would. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

These cookies are incredible! The combination of muscovado sugar and cocoa chips creates a rich, flavorful cookie that is both chewy and crispy. I will definitely be making these again.
