Those Chocolate Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a double boiler over simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter stirring constantly. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Combine the chocolate, flour, and egg mixtures together. Stir in the white chocolate and hazelnuts.
• Rest the dough in the refrigerator until it begins to set up but is still soft enough to spoon out.
• Using 2 spoons, drop 1 tablespoon portions of dough 2 inches apart on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool on the sheet pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Cream brown sugar, shortening, melted chocolate, egg and buttermilk.
• Add dry ingredients and beat until smooth.
• Drop onto greased cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Ice with Chocolate Cookie Buttercream Frosting when still warm but not hot.

Steps:

• Place a metal bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and add the first three ingredients.
• Cook over low heat, stirring, until they are almost melted, then remove from heat.
• Continue to stir until they have all melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
• In another large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar, using a mixer, for approximately 10 minutes.
• Add the espresso power if using (I like these better without), also the vanilla, and beat for 2 additional minutes.
• Stir in the melted chocolate until it is evenly mixed, then add the flour/baking powder/salt mixture.
• When that is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips.
• Refrigerate the batter for 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Drop chilled batter by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the parchment lined cookie sheets about 2-inches apart.
• Bake cookies, one baking sheet at a time, for approximately 8-10 minutes.
• When done, cookies may appear cracked and shiny on top.
• Allow cookies to rest for a few minutes, the place on a cookie rack to complete cooling.
• Store any cooking you are not eating right away in the freezer or refrigerator, not the cookie jar.
