Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 16 to 20 mummy cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Black decorating icing

Steps:

  • Combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and both extracts. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture until combined. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll out but not hard, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes using a 5-inch mummy cookie cutter (or cut the dough into rectangles or circles). Reserve the dough scraps. Arrange the cutouts about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Gather the dough scraps and roll out on a lightly floured surface until very thin. Cut into 1/8-inch-wide strips. Arrange the dough strips on the cutouts to look like bandages, trimming as needed. Refrigerate the cutouts until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake the cookies until firm around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. Dust with confectioners' sugar and dot with black decorating icing for eyes.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE-ALMOND EXPLOSION COOKIES



Triple Chocolate-Almond Explosion Cookies image

When published in "Vive Le Vegan" by Dreena Burton, these were called double chocolate, but since there are really three forms of chocolateyness I thought I'd better change the title :-) Otherwise, however, these cookies are pure, perfect decadence... they just beg to be shared with the world! (I highly recommend buying Dreena's book for more of the same experiences!) Note: My picture is of what I made my dad for Fathers' Day. :-) It took about a third of the whole recipe and was like a jumbo brownie-cookie! MMm-mm!

Time 32m

Yield 18 cookies, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or 1 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup canola oil (or other light-tasting oil)
2 -3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips or 2 -3 tablespoons dark chocolate bars, broken into chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Stir together the first first 8 dry ingredients, RESERVING 2 Tbsp of the almond slivers (be sure to sift the cocoa and baking powder/soda!).
  • In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, extracts and oil.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry, and stir just until well combined (don't overmix!)
  • Spoon the batter onto a nonstick or parchment-lined sheet. For each mound, take a few chocolate chips and a few of the remaining almond slivers and press into the top of each cookie, flattening slightly.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or just until gloden around the edges (any longer may let them dry out). Let cool for 1 minute on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Large or small, these triple chocolate cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Refrigerating the batter for 48 hours before baking is ideal, as this allows the dough to fully form its flavor.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes     White Chocolate

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 (3 ounce) bar dark chocolate, cut into chunks
3 tablespoons white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until a creamy, deep brown mixture forms. Add egg and vanilla; beat until mixture lightens and becomes smooth, 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add slowly to the wet ingredients until mostly incorporated, but some white traces of flour remain. Fold in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate using a spatula, not the mixer. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to bake.
  • Divide cold dough into 2 1/4-ounce portions and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges start to look golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake; the centers will not look fully done. Cool until cookies are set, about 30 minutes.

TRIPLE ALMOND COOKIES



Triple Almond Cookies image

I love almond flavor - in anything! I came up with these cookies about 20 years ago when I was trying to figure out what to do with almond paste... I figured it out! These are really good, but a little pricy because of the almond paste. (Be sure to use almond paste, not almond filling).

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Place 1 whole almond firmly onto top of each ball but do not flatten too far.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Triple Chocolate Almond Explosion Cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are rich, chewy, and packed with chocolate flavor. The addition of almonds adds a nice crunch and texture. These cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. Note: This is an AI-generated summary based on the provided article.
