amazing amazing chocolate cookies with chocolate/white chocolate swirled chips. absolutely ah- may - zing!! no joke. these babies are cream of the crop - little bites of chocolate heaven!
i made a fairly small batch because it was a recipe i created in my head - a chocolate variation of the best chocolate chip cookies ever. i wasnt completely sure the measurements i estimated would work out, but boy did it work out! far beyond anything i could imagine! really, YUM!!!!! wooooooooooohoooooooooooooo!
the best part about these cookies was the mixture of bittersweet chocolate and truffle chocolate. my aunt had a big bag of melted truffles that she got at costco (you know, the one in gold packaging), and personally, im not a big fan of truffles. so when she gave it to me to bake with, i took it, not really excited but i knew people like it, so it couldnt be too bad to mix with. little did i know what masterpieces i could make with the right amount of truffle chocolate and bittersweet chocolate! the chocolate ratio was 2/5 bittersweet and 3/5 sweet. it turned out specatcular!!!
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 12 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour 30 Minutes (im pretty slow)
Yields: 36 small cookies
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/5 cup white sugar
1 (3.4 ounce) packages instant CHOCOLATE pudding mix
2 eggs
1.5 cups semisweet/white chocolate chips (you can use all white chocolate chips too)
1 square BAKER'S Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
1.5 square sweetened chocolate (i used truffle chocolate, but cut back on the sugar)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.
2. In your makeshift double boiler, melt the two types of chocolate together. Stir occassionally, and always keep an eye on it. Let it melt - this may take 5 minutes or so.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs. Blend in the flour mixture. Stir in your chocolate chips. (This is your basic chocolate chip cookie batter.) Mix in your melted chocolate. the result will be a dark chocolate batter. YUM!
4. Place small balls of batter onto your baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on oven.
look at these babies! you can see the chocolate swirls if you look closely enough. and again, they were nice and soft. yum =) i think if you used white chocolate chips, theyd be a success as well. the colors would contrast better, and white chocolate is sweeter, which makes it a yummy treat! bon appetit!i apologize that my pictures arent the best. im trying! really! any photography tips would be greatly appreciated!!! and thank you for the comments! i really appreciate them!
