Instead of Baker's chocolate, I used
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Melt half a 12-ounce package of chocolate chips. Set aside the other half.
Stir until melted and smooth.
Stir in:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add and stir well:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Then stir in the half package of chocolate chips.
Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 12-13 minutes or until cookies are puffed and feel set to the touch.
Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute and then transfer to cooling rack.
The recipe said it makes 1 1/2 dozen. Mine made 11 cookies. Perfect to split with
our daughter and her family.
They were some of the best cookies I've ever had. Really. They are a little bit like brownies in cookie form!
Making my first contribution to Weekend Cooking since the new "ownership".
That sounds like a great recipe! I wonder why the number of cookies is so often different from the yield predicted by the recipe. Yesterday I baked 15 cookies from an. 8-cookie recipe.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at mae food.blogspot.com
I've sure noticed that, too.
DeleteI almost always get fewer cookies than the recipe says. I too use Guittard chocolate and cocoa powder.
ReplyDeleteAwfully good chocolate, I think.
DeleteSeems like too few cookies for all that chocolate.
ReplyDeleteNever too much chocolate. haha
DeleteChocolate cookies, sounds really good. Since it uses so little flour, I think I could use a mixture of rice flour and cornstarch and make them gluten free! :-) Thanks for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteHope it works!
DeleteThey sound really good- too bad you only got 11 especially when you were sharing them- but you did say they were some of the best- so it was worth it.I love the flowers in your banner.
ReplyDeleteHalf was plenty for the two of us!
DeleteVery tempting! They sound too good.
ReplyDeleteThey really are!
DeleteThose may be the very words atop my obituary someday if I have anything to say about it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI laughed right out loud when I read this!
DeleteNan, these sound so good. And perfect for me. One bowl, makes a small amount of cookies, and chocolate with chocolate chips.
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way!
DeleteDecadent!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good way to go to me! These do look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteHope you try 'em someday.
DeleteI was just looking at a bag of chocolate chips and thinking I should use these up. This recipe looks easy and good.
ReplyDeleteI am quite sure you will love them!
DeleteSounds easy and yummmy.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes!
DeleteThey look good! If this recipe is from an old package, Baker's Chocolate used to come in a larger sized package, so maybe that's the discrepancy in the amount of batter? They used to be 1 oz. squares and there would be 8 in a box, I thought.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it says 2 packages, 16 squares. Anyhow, this worked out great!
DeleteMmmh!! I can almost taste them, like very chocolaty chicolate brownies. And I hope the title of this post does not indicate what happens when one eats those lovely cookies!
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteThey are so good!
DeleteNaturally I'm craving chocolate cookies now. I do love the Guittard products but sometimes our local stores don't carry them. It's been ages since I've made cookies of any kind. I miss the days at our old house when our son lived next door and I had two little grandsons coming down the hill to visit every day. It was worth it to make cookies then!
ReplyDeleteI realized that I don't make cookies enough. I can always freeze them. And in the winter, I always mean to give some to the plow driver who often shows up two or three times a day. So if I have some in the freezer, that will work out great.
DeleteIndeed the cookies look good, but I must comment on the header ... I am enchanted with this section of your yard. What a lovely spot and the hens are simply great. Thank you for keeping us up-to-date with the seasons on the Hill Farm.
ReplyDeleteFor several years, we'd have a dozen or so strolling but this year just the two seem to come out of the pasture and explore a bit. Thank you for your kind, kind words. I will try and post more pictures. It's a funny time just now.
