Salted Double Dark Chocolate Cookies Recipes

SALTED DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one by one until completely blended in, and then the vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low (or stir by hand) until the ingredients are incorporated. Add the chocolate chips. The batter will be very thick.
• Scoop the cookies in approximately 2-tablespoon increments onto an ungreased non-stick cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with silpat. I recommend a cookie scoop for this step - makes life so much easier.
• Bake for about 7 minutes, until the cookies seem set but might still appear underdone (key to a soft, moist cookie). Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

SALTED CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in a bowl.
• Place butter in a saucepan over low heat and cook until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate chips and stir until completely melted. Remove from the heat.
• Combine brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Pour a small amount of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until well combined. Slowly add remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly so the eggs don't curdle. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Drop 6 large scoops of batter about 2 inches apart onto each of the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies have spread and flattened to a diameter of 4 1/2 inches or larger, and the tops are crinkled and puffed, 12 to 14 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt.
• Place baking sheets on a wire rack and cool for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove cookies with a spatula onto serving platter.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until very light, about 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Add the chocolate discs and mix briefly to combine. Press plastic wrap against the dough and chill it for at least 24 hours and up to 36.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion the dough out into balls slightly larger than golf balls, about 3 1/2 ounces each, and transfer five balls to the baking sheet. (They will spread significantly.) Bake the cookies until set, being careful to remove cookies from the oven when still soft in the center, about 18 minutes. Transfer the parchment with the cookies to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough, baking a second batch of four or five cookies. Serve warm.
