Do you ever get confused about whether to have a chocolate cake or a cookie? Well I do, and these cookies are the perfect solution when that happens. It’s an amazing quick fix when your greedy heart wants all the chocolate. I found this recipe in the Anna edit blog ( it was named Vivianna does makeup when I first found it) and my gosh! I’m so glad I tried it. It has become my favourite ever since! I’ve made a few tweaks, for instance I add wayy less chocolate than the original recipe. I mean I’d go broke if I spent so much money on chocolate on a regular basis. I’ve also halved it because the full recipe yields too many cookies to handle. So here it is:
Yield- 18 cookies
Ingredients:
Butter- 100g
Sugar-100g
Brown Sugar- 80g
Egg-1
Flour- 150g
Baking Powder- 1tsp
Baking Soda- 1/2tsp
Cocoa- 38g
1 bar (160g) of Dairy Milk Chocolate or any Chocolate of your liking, chopped roughly
Method:
- Pre heat oven to 200c for 8-10mins. Prepare a cookie sheet lined with baking paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a bowl, sift Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Cocoa powder and then using a whisk give them all a mix. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy ( About 2 mins). Add the egg and mix just until combined
- Add the Flour+Cocoa mixture to the Butter+Sugar+Egg mixture and mix until combined.
- Finally, sprinkle in the chocolate chunks and give it one more mix. The dough will be a bit soft. Put in the fridge for 10 mins.
- Take it out, roll the dough into little balls ( about 2 Tbsp size) and place them in prepared sheet. Keep some space in between each cookie as they will spread while baking. If you want to be a bit extra, press down the cookies to flatten them a bit and then place a chunk of chocolate on top of each cookies dough.
- Bake for 8-10mins. Take it out of the oven, the cookies will still be soft, don’t touch them or try to eat them. Have patience and let them cool for 30mins.
These cookies probably take less time than it took for me to write down the recipe, if you have the ingredients on hand that is. The waiting to cool part sucks I agree but still at the end of it all you will get to eat one of the best cookies you’ll have in your life! Try it, eat it, love it.
