Cookies | Tags: chocolate
Boy, I’ve been hitting the jackpot lately with the recipes I’ve been trying. I rarely get giddy about a recipe, but this cookie is just heavenly. It reminds me of those black and white chippers from Paradise Bakery that are my favorite. Next time I think I’ll add white chips to these. Yum!
I’ve adapted these from a Martha Stewart recipe and I love them. The first part of the recipe requires you to melt the chips and butter over the stovetop. All I do is take a small soup pot and fill it with a cup or so of water over medium heat, then find a small bowl (heat proof, like a stainless steel mixing bowl) that fits nicely over top of the pot, then add your chocolate and butter. It’s really easy, no need for a double broiler at all. You’ll love these cookies, they’d be great to add to your holiday plates and look cute with a little ribbon wrapped around them. Enjoy! These are a real treat if you are a chocolate lover like me!
Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Adapted from Martha Stewart Recipe)
1 stick unsalted real butter
1 ½ Cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ¼ Cups flour
½ Cup cocoa powder (I used Hersheys Dark Chocolate)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon coarse salt
1 bag chocolate chips (chunk chips would be great, but I used chips today)
2. Place cooled melted chocolate, sugar, eggs and vanilla into the bowl of a stand or electric mixer. Mix on medium speed until well combined. On low speed, slowly mix in flour mixture and chips until just combined.
3. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until cookies begin to crack on top and edges look slightly crisped. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to finish cooling.
Wow! Those look so good. The texture looks perfect, to me. They look nice and moist.
I’m a chocolate lover, too, (who isn’t) so I’ll have to try these.
Jenny, It was so exciting to stumble upon your blog! my sisters and I have started blogging to keep in touch better and are loving it.

You’re killing me with these recipes! How do you stay so thin?! These (like everything else I see on your page) look absolutely divine! YUM
Emiline,
The texture of these are so good. Nice and crisp on the outside and super soft and chocolatey on the inside. I’m such a sucker for a good piece of dark chocolate. Mmmm!

Hey, how did your chili cook-off go? Hope you won!!
It seems like Martha Stewart has some really great cookie recipes. I have been seeing a lot of them pop up that people rave about. I love chocolate, so I know I’d love these!!!
The black and white chippers are my favorite. The other day we got to paradise at 9pm and were the last customer. So, they gave us the whole LOT of the chippers they had left for just 2 bucks. SCORE!!
I am jealous Shanda!! Those are the best cookies ever, I think I’ll try going late one night to see if I get some free cookies!! They just opened one right by my house.
I am so excited, I get to make these again for some parties this weekend. I’ll be making sure there are extras! Your family will love them Kristen!
