Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 56 grams Unsalted butter
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have a crinkled surface and are just set around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your rich, chocolatey truffle cookies!
