Chocolate Cookies with a Twist
Here’s putting a twist to an all-time
favourite! Give your chocolate cookies a
kick with a hint of gourmet salt, yep you heard me!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose
flour
1 teaspoon baking
powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher
salt
1/4 teaspoon baking
soda
1/2 cup
unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup brown
sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup powdered
sugar
2 large
egg yolks
1 large
egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
8 ounces chopped semisweet
chocolates
Directions:
Place
racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°.
Whisk
flour, baking powder, Gourmet chocolate Vanilla Rock Salt, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
Using
an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, and powdered
sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add egg yolks, egg, and vanilla.
Beat,
occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl, until mixture is pale and
fluffy, 4-5 minutes.
Reduce
mixer speed to low; slowly add dry ingredients, mixing just to blend. Using a
spatula, fold in chocolate.
Spoon
rounded tablespoonful's of cookie dough onto 2 parchment paper-lined baking
sheets, spacing 1-inch apart. Sprinkle cookies with Chocolate & Vanilla
Rock Salt.
Bake
cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until just golden brown around the
edges, 10-12 minutes (the cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cool slightly
on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks; let cool completely.
Tip: Cookies
can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Makes 24 cookies.
