Outrageous Chocolate Cookies

 

One of my favorite chocolate cookies, they are so moist and tender.

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoon unsalted butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon (2g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (4g) salt
2 large egg at room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon (2,5ml) pure vanilla paste
8 ounces (1 cup) chocolate, coarsely chopped
Sea salt flakes for garnish
1/4 cup walnuts coarsely chopped (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven at 350ºF (175ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat nonstick baking mat.

Heat the chocolate chopped and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring between each, until almost melted or place them in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and allow to completely melt, do not overheat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder  and salt. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar and vanilla on high speed until pale and fluffy. reduce speed to low, beat in melted chocolate. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporate. Stir 4 ounces chocolate coarsely chopped.

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chopped on top.

I topped some of the cookies with walnuts coarsely chopped before baking.

Bake until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in center, about 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Sprinkle some sea salt flakes on top before serving.
