To avoid heating the chocolate too much and possibly burning it, the +best method is to heat till the butter is melted and the chocolate has +partially melted, then remove from the heat. Stir till all the chocolate melts. + +In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs till they're thoroughly +combined. You don't need a mixer, just do it in a medium sized bowl with a +wooden spoon. Add the hot melted chocolate, then stir in the remaining +ingredients, including the chocolate chips, if you're using them. Refrigerate +the batter like dough for 1 hour, to make it easier to handle. + +Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two +baking sheets, three if you have them. + +Drop the cookie dough by the tablespoonfuls (about the size of a small ping +pong ball) onto the prepared baking sheets. A tablespoon cookie scoop makes +this task extremely simple. Leave about 2" between the dough balls, as they'll +spread as they bake. + +Bake the cookies for 11 to 12 minutes, until their tops are shiny and cracked. +They won't crack until the very end, so keep a close eye on them; when they're +cracked all the way across the top surface, they're done. The point is, you +want these baked all the way through, but just barely; additional baking makes +them more crisp rather than chewy. Remove the cookies from the oven, and top +each with a kiss-shaped chocolate, a bittersweet chocolate wafer, or a +chocolate covered sunflower seed. Wait 5 minutes then transfer the cookies to a +wire rack to cool. + +(source: http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/2008/06/chocolate-brownie-cookies/) |
