Triple Chocolate Almond Explosion Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla and mix together. Add the flour mixture and continue mixing until just combined.
• Add the chocolates and almonds and mix until combined. Using two tablespoons or a small ice cream scoop, drop the dough two inches apart on sheet pans lined with parchment. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Cool the cookies on the cookie sheets. The cookies should be very soft when they are removed from the oven. They will firm up as they cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place the bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate and espresso powder in a medium bowl and place over a pot of simmering water and melt, whisking occasionally, until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt onto a piece of parchment or wax paper, or into a small bowl, and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until lightly and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract, and beat on high speed for 1 minute. On low speed beat in the melted chocolate mixture until just combined. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in the pecans and chips. The batter will be loose. Cover and refrigerate until just firm, about 30 minutes.
• Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1 tablespoon size), scoop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, putting 8 cookies on each sheet. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. The surface will be dry and shiny but the tops and insides will still be soft. It will take no longer than 10 to 11 minutes so set the time. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool 5 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining batter. These cookies are best eaten the day they are made. Wrap leftovers well in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Stir together the first first 8 dry ingredients, RESERVING 2 Tbsp of the almond slivers (be sure to sift the cocoa and baking powder/soda!).

• Add the wet mixture to the dry, and stir just until well combined (don't overmix!)
• Spoon the batter onto a nonstick or parchment-lined sheet. For each mound, take a few chocolate chips and a few of the remaining almond slivers and press into the top of each cookie, flattening slightly.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or just until gloden around the edges (any longer may let them dry out). Let cool for 1 minute on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Steps:

• Cream butter and powdered sugar.
• Add almond paste, egg and extract. Beat at medium speed until smooth.
