I love these cookies so much! I developed this recipe when I wanted to bring brownies to an event, but didn’t have the ability to transport them easily. These cookies are so chocolatey and delicious that they’re basically brownies. I love incorporating a little bit of coffee into dark chocolate recipes to bring out the richness of the chocolate as much as possible.
One note: I often double this recipe when I wantt to make a bigger batch. It works great; just note that mixing might take a little bit longer.
I hope that you enjoy these cookies as much as I do! As always, leave questions and comments below, or tag me on social media. Happy baking!
Double Chocolate Sea Salt Cookies
These cookies are easy to make, but have a deliciously complex flavor. You can eat them right out of the oven, or freeze them for later in an air-tight bag. Enjoy!!
Instructions
-
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
-
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until very light, about 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
-
Set your mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Add the chocolate discs and almonds, and mix briefly to combine. Press plastic wrap against the dough and chill it for at least 24 hours and up to 36 (see modifications for instructions if you can’t make ahead).
-
Heat oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the dough into balls slightly smaller than golf balls, and transfer six balls to the baking sheet. (They will spread significantly.) Bake the cookies until set, being careful to remove cookies from the oven when still soft in the center, about 15 minutes. Transfer the parchment with the cookies to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough, baking a second batch of six or seven cookies.” “Don’t have brown sugar? No worries!
