Super Chocolate Chip Cookies topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 110 g unsalted butter
- 110 g unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 220 g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into pieces
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp. sour milk or kefir
- 1 cup premium flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder + 0.5 cup for rolling the cookies
- 0.5 tsp coarse salt
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for rolling the cookies
Preparation:
- Position oven racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. If you don't have three baking sheets, just wait for the sheets to cool between batches..
- Place the butter, unsweetened chocolate, and 110g of semisweet chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 75% power until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir and heat again until the butter and chocolate are completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Pour about 2 cm of water into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the bowl over the saucepan, making sure it doesn't touch the water, and stir occasionally until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and knead into a dough. Add the remaining chopped semisweet chocolate and stir to distribute evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough until firm enough to handle, about 1 hour.
- Take 1 tablespoon of dough and form into balls approximately 2 cm in size. Place them on a baking sheet, spacing them 2.5 cm apart. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
When measuring flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup and remove any excess. Scooping flour directly from the bag with a measuring cup will compact it, resulting in dry baked goods..
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup cocoa powder and powdered sugar in two separate bowls for rolling the dough. Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar, then in cocoa powder, and place them on a baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are set but still soft inside, 10-12 minutes.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
