These chocolate cookies have three different kinds of chocolate in them: high quality coco powder instead of flour, melted bittersweet chocolate chips in the batter and semi-sweet chocolate chips added to the batter at the end for an extra taste of gooey chocolate. There is no wheat flour in this recipe, only coco powder so the flavor of the chocolate is intense. These are also fantastic dipped in milk when warm.
Notes:
- Since these cookies are all about the chocolate, it is important to use high quality chocolate when making the batter. That means high quality cocoa powder and high quality bittersweet chocolate which is melted to become part of the batter. Both Ghirardelli and Guittard are really good and are pretty widely available (Target, Whole Foods, larger grocery stores).
- The quality of the semi sweet chocolate chips added to the batter at the end is not as critical. I typically use Nestle chocolate chips.
- Make sure that the melted chocolate cools before adding it to the batter otherwise it may scramble the eggs.
- Stir the batter as little as possible, just until all the elements are combined.
