CHOCOLATE COOKIES
Chocolate cookies are delightful treats loved by many. These delectable treats are made using a combination of ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and, of course, chocolate. The key ingredient that gives these cookies their rich flavor and distinctive color is cocoa powder or melted chocolate.
Ingredients:
125 grams of butter
70 grams of muscovado sugar
150 grams of white sugar
a pinch of salt
5 grams of vanilla essence
300 grams of flour
175 grams of fondant chocolate
5 grams of baking soda
2 eggs
Preparation:
1. Leave the butter at room temperature a few hours beforehand so that it is soft. When starting to make the cookies, mix the butter with the muscovado brown sugar and the white sugar in a large bowl, also add the vanilla essence and work this mixture well.
2. Sift the flour together with the baking soda and pour it into the bowl, add the beaten eggs and a pinch of salt and knead again. Finally, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave, ensuring that it does not exceed 45-50º C and pour it over the cookie dough. Mix well and let it rest at room temperature for about an hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 175º C and start shaping the cookies. Make balls the size of a walnut, flatten them slightly and place them on a baking tray covered with a Teflon sheet or other baking cloth, leaving a margin of separation so that they do not touch during baking.
4. Place the tray in the oven when it is up to temperature and bake for 10-15 minutes. If you leave them for approximately ten minutes (all depending on the size of the cookies), they will maintain a crispy heart. If you leave them for five more minutes, when they cool, you will have crunchy cookies that are ideal for dipping in milk and enjoying their texture.
