Outrageous Chocolate Cookies

Chocolate, chocolate chip cookies.

It’s Valentine’s day, and that means I’m thinking all things chocolate.

These cookies were first published in Everyday Food in September 2003. This is my adaptation, using both semisweet chocolate and dark chocolate as well as instant espresso coffee.

The cookies travel well, making them ideal to take to the office to celebrate a special occasion, pack in a lunch for a welcome self-indulgence, or to take to a meeting to sweeten dispositions.

Like the brownies I shared in my previous post, these are even more pleasing with a big glass of ice-cold milk, or hot, black coffee.

Enjoy!

Outrageous Chocolate Cookies
It's important not to over-bake these — they're supposed to be soft and chewy. They store nicely for several days in an airtight container at room temperature, although I do like to give them a few seconds in the microwave to bring them back to 'just-out-of-the-oven' perfection.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Line 2 baking sheets with a silicone mat each and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over very low heat, melt chocolate and butter.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, instant espresso coffee, and vanilla on high speed until fluffy and light. Beat in melted chocolated mixture.
  6. Fold in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by heaping tablespoons 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. You should have 12 cookie dough mounds for each sheet.
  8. Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets half way through baking time. The cookies should look crackly and shiny, with soft centers.
  9. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store airtight, at room temperature, for several days.
