Ummmmmmmmmmmm...chocolate.....
60% Cacao. 100% Impressive.
Intense chocolate with every. Single. Bite. Wow!
From Redbook Magazine.
For a batch of Ghirardelli Ultimate Double-Chocolate cookies…..grab the following…………
1 bag (11.5 oz.) Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
6 TB (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking powder
1 bag (12 oz.) Ghirardelli Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup (4 oz.) chopped walnuts
In double boiler over hot water, melt the bittersweet chocolate chips and butter.
In large bowl with a mixer, beat eggs and sugar until thick; stir in chocolate mixture.
In small bowl stir together flour and baking powder; stir into chocolate mixture.
Gently mix in semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts.
Using a sheet of plastic wrap, form dough into two logs. Each one is meant to be 2 inches in diameter and about 8 inches long.
Ok, this isn’t a screw up but if I had it to do over, I would lay out the two sheets of plastic wrap and carefully divide the cookie dough EQUALLY between the two sheets. As it was, I dumped out way more on one piece of plastic wrap and it was a tremendously thick log. And the other one was much smaller. Live and learn, right?
Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until form.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Unwrap dough and with a sharp knife, slice off ¾ inch slices.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake 12 to 14 minutes. They were very thick, very chocolately.
Oops..this photo was blurry....you can see how dark chocolate they are though.
This is a better photo.......
Now, is this a magazine recipe that goes in the keeper file? It will. I thought (if this is at all possible) that they may be too chocolaty but Doug really enjoyed them.
If you make them let me know how you like them.
Cheers!
too chocolaty... nah, ooey and gooey and delicious looking
