Here is an awesome, intensely chocolate cookie that I've made for years. It
comes from the Bon Appetit Christmas book (page 13). I always double the batch as they are quite popular! Chocolate Rads (makes about 15) 1 pound bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate 1 3/4 cups sugar 4 large eggs 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder 1/2 cup cake flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (about 14 oz) 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (about 4 oz) (I always add more chocolate here and omit the nuts) Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs in large bowl until pale yellow and thick, about 5 minutes. Beat in melted chocolate, melted butter, vanilla and espresso powder. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into small bowl. Stir dry ingredients into chocolate mixture. Mix in chocolate chips and nuts. Cover and refridgerate mixture until firm, approximately 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Drop batter by 1/2 cupfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing evenly. Press with moist fingertips to form 3 1/2 - 4 inch rounds. Bake cookies until tops become dry and crack, about 16 minutes. Cool cookies on parchment. Remove from parchment. Cover and store in airtight container at room temperature. |
