How about some chocolate cookies for Cookie Friday? Cookies loaded with chocolate to be precise. Would you be interested in those Chocolate Crinkle Cookies? The crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside type of CHOCOLATE COOKIES! Yeah… I can see your eyes getting bigger the more I talk about CHOCOLATE… :P
I think you should grab a glass of milk and have a seat – I am not sure if you can handle so much chocolate. These are cookies for chocolate connoisseurs, lovers of chocolate, chocolate experts… nothing for chocolate newbies :P
Just kidding. Everybody can enjoy one of these little fellas. We are all the same when it comes to chocolate ;)
There is not much to tell about these cookies though. They are delicious. You should make them. That’s it. Well… maybe a little note about the baking time: do not over-bake those cookies! The 12 minutes in the recipe is the maximum baking time. You should not leave them longer in the oven even if they seem a bit underbaked in the center – that soft spots will firm up as soon as the cookies are cooling down. If you leave them in the oven too long, the soft and chewy center of the cookies will disappear and you will end up with dry cookies all the way through. Nobody wants that ;)
If you like crinkly cookies, you might want to take a look at some of my other crinkle cookie recipes: for example Crinkle Cookies with Cinnamon or Crinkle Cookies with Chocolate and Pecans. If you like it colorful, you should take a look at these Monster Crinkle Cookies for Halloween – I got crinkles for everyone! :P
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
7 oz. (200g) semi-sweet chocolate (>70%), chopped
1/2 cup (120g) butter
2 large eggs
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
200g Zartbitterschokolade (>70%), gehackt
120g Butter
2 Eier (L)
150g brauner Zucker
100g Zucker
1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt
130g Mehl (Type 550)
3 EL Kakao
1 TL Backpulver
1/4 TL Salz
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Chop the chocolate and add together with the butter to a heatproof/microwave-safe bowl. Melt over a pot with simmering water or in the microwave and mix until well combined. Let cool down a bit.
3. Add the eggs and both sugars to a large mixing bowl and whisk on high speed for about 5-6 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and cooled chocolate mixture and mix until well combined. Mix the flour with cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to place dough portions on the baking sheets. Make sure to leave enough space in between because the cookies are spreading a lot. Bake for about 12 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet until you can move them, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. While the cookies are cooling, repeat with the remaining dough and the second baking sheet.
2. Die Schokolade grob hacken und dann zusammen mit der Butter in einer hitzebeständigen Schüssel über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser schmelzen und verrühren. Wer mag, kann das auch langsam und vorsichtig in der Mikrowelle machen. Die Mischung etwas abkühlen lassen.
3. Die Eier mit den beiden Zuckersorten in einer großen Rührschüssel mit der Küchenmaschine auf höchster Stufe für 5-6 Minuten aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist. Vanille Extrakt und abgekühlt Schokoladensoße dazugeben und gut unterrühren. Mehl mit Kakao, Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Rührschüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Mit einem Cookie Scoop (Eisportionierer) oder zwei Löffeln Teigportionen mit genügend Abstand zueinander auf die Bleche setzen – die Cookies laufen auseinander. Für etwa 12 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter setzen und komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit dem zweiten Blech wiederholen.
