Classic Cookies w. Chocolate
This recipe makes 15 cookies
Super easy, crispy, chewy, caramelized, chocolate overloaded cookies. Who doesn't like that? My version of the cookie classic has few ingredients and you can load them with your favorite chocolate.
Here's a version with my #1 guilty pleasure: dragé chocolate eggs. The cracking sugar shell and the crunchy chocolate, I love that. But you can easily use anything from heat resistant chocolate buttons to a bar of Marabou with Daim chopped into suitable pieces.
Classic Cookies w. Chocolate
Preparation: >20 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total: >2h. 40 minutes*
Ingredients
This recipe makes 15 cookies
120 g melted butter
200 g brown sugar
1 egg M/L
50 g plain GF flour, e.g. red Finax
160 g GF oat flour
15 g vanilla sugar
5 g flake salt
5 g baking powder
150 g chocolate, chopped or in buttons.
150 g chocolate for decoration: coarsely chopped chocolate as desired.
Method:
Melt the butter. Mix the brown sugar and melted butter together. Add the egg.Add all the other ingredients except the chocolate and chocolate for decoration. When the cookie dough is smooth, add the chocolate.*Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2 hours. Roll the dough into balls of approx. 40-50 g. Decorate with chocolate. Bake for 13-15 minutes at 170 degrees C. Cool them on a wire rack and enjoy the aroma. Wait 1 minute before moving the cookies from the baking sheet to a wire rack, as they are very fragile when they are hot.
Enjoy your cookies warm or cold.
Tips and storage:
〰️ I use a stand mixer and the k-beater. But you can probably also do it with a dough hook or by hand.
〰️ I use half and half Callebaut 811, which is 54.5%, and the sweet, caramelized Gold chocolate from Callebaut in this recipe because my chocolate eggs that I used for decoration here were light chocolate. If the chocolate eggs had been dark or white, I would have used other chocolates in the batter so you get a mix of chocolate flavors. But it's a matter of taste.
〰️ Store them in an airtight container - they are good for many days if not eaten right away.
〰️ They can be frozen. Both baked and "raw".
〰️ Serve them with a scoop of ice cream in between for the perfect homemade ice cream cookie sandwich.
