    Oh well… it seems I can’t live without chocolate cookies. So today we have some cookies with a good amount of chocolate – again ;) The chocolate is accompanied by some pecans and cornflakes. Happy Cookie Friday!

    Last week I told you, I had to step back from the excessive use of chocolate in cookies (and of course still used chocolate in that week’s cookies – but white chocolate, though). Well… things changed (or not) and here we have some cookies with… chocolate. A good amount of dark chocolate. Yeah, I know. Don’t trust a chocoholic :P

    But let’s be honest – it’s chocolate! Who can resist? Definitely not me. I think some extra chocolate sometimes can’t be that bad ;))

    So today’s cookies are chocolaty, nutty (not slutty) and crunchy. How cornflakes ended up in those cookies? Well – I had some left from breakfast and thought those cookies – which were planned to be just chocolate pecan cookies – could need some extra crunch. Worked well :)

    So let’s get started…

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch
    (15-16 cookies)

    14 oz. (400g) semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup (120g) butter, room temperature
    1/2 cup (100g) sugar
    3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
    3 tbsp. cocoa powder
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1 cup (100g) pecans, chopped
    1 cup (40g) cornflakes, chrushed

    (15-16 Cookies)

    400g Zartbitterschokolade, gehackt
    120g weiche Butter
    100g Zucker
    150g brauner Zucker
    2 Eier (L)
    1 TL Vanille Extrakt
    130g Mehl (Type 405)
    3 EL Kakaopulver
    1 TL Backpulver
    1/4 TL Salz
    100g Pekannüsse, gehackt
    40g Cornflakes, zerdrückt

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Chop the chocolate and melt about 9 oz. (250g) of the chocolate in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl over a pot with simmering water. Let cool down again. Chop the pecans and set aside.

    2. Add the butter and sugars to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Add the melted chocolate and mix in. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt to a separate bowl, mix and then add to the bowl with the other ingredients and mix until just combined – do not overmix. Add the remaining chopped chocolate, chopped pecans and crushed cornflakes and fold in. Use a cookie scoop and place dough balls with enough space in between on the baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes – the edges should be crisp and the surface should have some cracks. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Schokolade grob hacken und etwa 250g davon in der Mikrowelle oder in einer hitzebeständigen Schüssel über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser schmelzen. Wieder abkühlen lassen. Die Pekannüsse grob hacken und zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Butter mit den beiden Zuckersorten in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln zugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Die geschmolzene Schokolade zugeben und ebenfalls unterrühren. Das Mehl zusammen mit dem Kakaopulver, Backpulver und Salz in einer separaten Schüssel vermischen und dann zur großen Schüssel dazugeben und alles nur sehr kurz verrühren. Die verbliebene gehackte Schokolade zusammen mit den gehackten Pekannüssen und zerdrückten Cornflakes unterheben. Mit einem Löffel Teigportionen abstechen, zu Kugeln formen und mit genügend Abstand auf das Blech setzen. Für etwa 15 Minuten backen – die Cookies sollten am Rand knusprig sein und an der Oberfläche Risse bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter legen und komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig wiederholen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
