Sometimes a oomph of dark chocolate is the only remedy. I have been wanting to try this dark chocolate cookie recipe by Nigella Lawson for a while now and never got around to it until the other day. I used proper chocolate not the semi sweet morsels and reduced the sugar content. The result is a bittersweet soft cake-like consistency. Dark chocolate lovers beware its will make you sin repeatedly!
Recipe:
125 grams good quality milk and dark chocolate
150 grams flour
30 grams coco powder sieved
1 teaspoon bircabonate soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter (soft)
75 grams light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium egg cold from the fridge
350 grams milk and dark chocolate cut into chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 170 Celsius and melt the 125 grams of chocolate in a heatproof dish over simmering water until melted. Set aside. Line a baking tray with wax paper
Put the flour, coco, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a bowl.
Cream the sugar and butter together and add the melted chocolate. Beat in the vanilla and cold egg and add the dry ingredients until fully mixed, finally adding the chocolate chips.
Scoop the mixture into 12 equal molds with an ice cream scoop.
Bake for 18 minutes, leave to cool for 5 minutes and trasfer to a cooling rack.
