After breakfast this morning, I got to baking while Sylvia sat around and relaxed. I thought these had nice look to them so I thought I'd give them a shot.
They actually have an interesting taste to them too, almost like a brownie cookie and really, who can resist that?
Recipe for those interested:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of Unsweetened Cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp of baking soda
- 2 tsp of baking powder
- 1 tsp of salt
- 8 tbsp of unsalted butter
- 8 oz. of Chocolate Baking Chips Unsweetened
- 3 cups packed of brown sugar
- 6 eggs
- 2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
- 8 tsp of instant Espresso Powder
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
01. Preheat oven to 325F degrees with the rack in the middle.
02. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
03. In a bowl whisk or sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
04. In a separate bowl microwave chocolate chips and butter in short intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is mostly melted. Continue stirring until all chocolate is melted.
05. In a bowl whisk sugar, eggs, espresso powder and vanilla extract together.
06. Add melted chocolate to the mixture and whisk until combined.
07. Add the flour-cocoa mixture and fold until no streaks of flour are seen.
08. Let sit for 10-15 minutes for the mixture to cool down and harden slightly.
09. Set two bowls with granulated sugar in one and confectioners sugar in another.
10. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter and drop it into the granulated sugar mixture first. Roll around in the sugar, then roll into a ball with hands. Next drop into the confectioners’ sugar until coated.
11. Place coated cookie balls onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
12. Bake for 6 minutes, rotate the sheet, and baking for another 4-6 minutes, 10-12 minutes total. Cookies should be set around the edges and still soft in the middle.
13. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
