Day 10: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 20, 2011 by kim 9 Comments

I’m spending all day today putting together my annual holiday basket. I found the cutest boxes and wrapping from Crate and Barrel to put everything in. I’m going to have to lug everything with me back home since I’m only going to be home for such a short period of time that I don’t have time to bake there. Let’s hope I baked some sturdy cookies!

Day 10 of my 12 days of cookies: Chocolate on top of chocolate on top of chocolate… sometimes that’s all a girl needs in life. I was asked to bake cookies for a friend’s birthday and the only request was… you guessed it, chocolate. Since all my favorite cookies are made with a mixture of melting regular chocolate with dark cocoa powder, I figured this one fit the bill perfectly. The cookies had a flaky outside layer and a chewy inner layer. The amont of chocolate was enough to satisfy any chocolate craving. Recipe slightly adapted from Sweet and Savory Tooth.

Day 10: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

2 2/3 cups (16 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder (I used Hershey's dark)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cold egg
2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Melt 2/3 cup of the chocolate chips in the microwave by heating in increments of 30 seconds and stirring in between. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and both sugars. Stir in the melted chocolate chips. Add in the egg and vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt) to the chocolate mixture until just incorporated.
Fold in the remaining 2 cups chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon sized dough onto baking sheets.
Bake for about 11 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Day 7: Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 15, 2011 by kim 2 Comments

Whoo hoo! We have officially crossed the half way mark with ten days left to spare. That means there will be five posts in the next ten days. Are you ready for it? Have you started your holiday baking? I’ll be doing all my holiday baking up north since I’ll be working over the holidays, but I’ll be flying everything home next week. Just because I’m not home for Christmas doesn’t mean I can’t deliver my annual holiday sweets!

Day 7 of my 12 days of cookies: Here’s another simple recipe that’s been fancied up a bit. The extra 5 minutes that you take to brown the butter really alters the taste of a normal chocolate chip cookie. The dough really held its shape during baking and didn’t flatten out much, so use a cookie scooper to make your cookies uniform. The taste was great, but the texture itself was a bit harder than I’d like my cookies to be. Recipe from In the Little Red House.

Day 7: Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

2 sticks of butter (1 cup)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 lb chocolate chips/chunks
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Brown the butter by heating in a pan over medium heat and stir continuously. The butter will foam up. After foam subsides, small brown flecks will start to appear in bottom of pan. Continue stirring, until butter has reached a nice brown color. Turn the heat all the way down. Pour into a bowl and and refrigerate until solid again.
Cream the brown butter after it has solidified and the sugars. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
Stir in the dry ingredients: flour, soda and salt into the wet mixture. Fold in the chocolate and pecans.
Scoop dough into tablespoon sized balls and bake for 11-13 minutes.

Day 4: Mocha Almond Fudge Cookies

December 9, 2011 by kim 3 Comments

Day 4 of my 12 days of cookies: Sometimes chocolate just isn’t enough for us no matter how much of it we have. That’s when my good friend coffee comes in. Not only does coffee bring out the chocolate flavor, but it gives you an additional boost to keep you going throughout your day. I never used to drink coffee, but I find myself adding a little more to my daily routine each year. My only peeve about coffee is that it stains your teeth! What a bummer.

Good and effective instant coffee is hard to come by (I don’t own a coffee maker), so imagine my surprise when I actually discovered one that was strong enough to keep my DB alert throughout finals week. This one is from Trader Joe’s and really stood out in the cookie after baking. Other instant coffee powders that I’ve used in the past seem to dissolve in the oven, but not this baby!

These cookies were bold. They definitely aren’t for the light hearted. The almond adds a great texture to a somewhat fudgy cookie. Make sure not to over bake them or you’ll end up with cakey cookies! Recipe from How Sweet Eats.

Day 4: Mocha Almond Fudge Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup chopped almonds
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

First roast the chopped almonds and cinnamon in a pan over low to medium heat for about ten minutes, rotating every now and then. Set aside.
Cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Add in the flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and almonds. Refrigerate dough for at least two hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and bake on sheet for 8-10 minutes.
