The Theme: ALL ABOUT CHOCOLATE
The Book: Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Baking
The Recipe: Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients:
125g unsweetened chocolate, chopped (didn't have them, so i used bittersweet Manjari 64%)
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
1.5 cups (235g) all purpose flour (I used cookie flour)
1/2 cup (45g) cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
2 cups caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1.5 cups (280g) miniature semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (60g) icing sugar (sifted), more if needed
- Put the chocolate & butter in a microwavable glass bowl and heat it for 15 seconds, stir with silicone spatula, heat it again for 15 seconds and stir, repeat the process until the chocolate & butter fully melted and well blended. Put aside to cool. You can also use a double boiler method as per suggested by the book.
- In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until light in color and thick, about 3 minutes. Beat in the chocolate mixture on low speed until blended. Add the dry ingredients and beat until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll into balls, about 2-3 hours
- Preheat oven to 165 degree Celsius. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
- Roll a rounded tablespoon of dough between your palms into a 4 cm ball, roll it in the icing sugar. Place the them 3 cm apart on the prepared baking sheets
- Bake it for 15 minutes. Let cool in the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely
- Store in an airtight container
