Ultimate Chocolate Cookie

Written by on in Cookies

There is no mistaking the chocolate in these Triple Chocolate Cookies. With the unsweetened cocoa powder, melted bittersweet chocolate and bittersweet chocolate chips baked in the cookie, you would think that was enough but I had to take it one more step and dip these cookies in rich bittersweet chocolate as well. They are like a chocolate explosion.

Ultimate Chocolate Cookie

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 Teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon salt
  • 2 Cups bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 Cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 Cup brown sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Cup bittersweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set to the side.
  2. To a medium bowl whisk together the all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and set to the side.
  3. In a medium saucepan combine the 2 cups of bittersweet chocolate pieces and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the remaining butter on medium for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, beating until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Beat in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract. Beat in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chips and beat until incorporated.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2” apart on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the chocolate dip, place the 1 cup of chocolate chips in the bowl of a double boiler over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and allow to melt completely, stirring occasionally to combine. Remove from heat. Dip one end of each cookie in the melted chocolate and return to the wire rack to set.
  7. Enjoy.
