Rich White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies image

I made this recipe up recently, when I was invited to someone's house and found myself in a pinch with nothing to bring. After throwing it together and running out the door, I was pleasantly surprised when it was such a huge hit! I went home and tried to remember step-by-step what I did and I remade them to be sure. It's such an easy yet tasty cookie and the butter makes all the difference!

RICH CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Rich Chocolate Cookies image

This recipe for the chocolate cookies was sent to The New York Times several years ago by Mari Pfeiffer, a reader in California; it's from the cookbook "Great Cookies," published in 2003 by the author and teacher Carole Walter. The cookies are imbued with deep flavor from the combination of cocoa powder, unsweetened chocolate and espresso powder. Decorate them with royal icing. "Other icings - buttercream, melted white or dark chocolate or ganache - would take away from the cookie's simple yet amazing flavor," said Ms. Pfeiffer, who often cuts the dough into letters to spell out seasonal messages.

Categories     quick, dessert

Time 30m

Yield More than 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups/180 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons/11 grams sifted Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon/2 grams baking powder
1/4 teaspoon/1.5 grams baking soda
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams salt
8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 cup/200 grams superfine sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon/2 grams instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1/2 teaspoon boiling water
3 ounces/85 grams unsweetened chocolate, melted in a double boiler
Royal icing, for decorating

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In the large bowl of a standing mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and light in color, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar in a steady stream, continuing to beat for 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and espresso mixture. Continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, then mix in the melted chocolate.
  • Reduce the speed to low. Add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing just enough to combine after each addition. Divide the dough in two and form into two flattened disks. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Roll out the chilled dough between 2 sheets of parchment or wax paper until it is 3/16-inch thick. Cut into shapes, using cookie cutters of different sizes to use as much dough as possible. (The dough will not be as good if it is rolled out a second time.) Transfer cookies to baking sheets, 1/2 inch apart.
  • Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, rotating the sheets once to ensure even baking, or until cookies look set on top and have a slight sheen. Remove from oven and wait 2 minutes before transferring the cookies to wire racks to cool. Frost with royal icing, if desired.

DOUBLE RICH CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Double Rich Chocolate Cookies image

This recipe is from the Mrs. Field's Cookie Book. These cookies are very chocolaty, very tasty. They smell like brownies when they're in the oven. The only change I made was that I did not use my electric mixer to blend in the flour and chocolate chips mixture. I just used a wooden spoon,I figured the dough would be too heavy for the mixer, I was right. Some extra elbow grease needed but well worth it.

Categories     Cookies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/3 c butter softened
1 c granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar, lightly packed
2 eggs
4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 pkg semi-sweet mini chocloate chips
1 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and Walnuts.
  • 2. DROP by rounded tablespoons on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven @ 375. 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheet 1 minute. Makes 5 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and creamy dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a chewy cookie with a crispy exterior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These rich chocolate cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy, crispy, or somewhere in between, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
