Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Brown sugar |
| 3/4 | Butter |
| 1/4 | Margarine |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 | Vanilla |
| 1/2 | Flour |
| 1/4 | Baking powder |
| 2 | Semi-sweet chocolate |
| 1 | Chopped nuts (optional) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when the cookie dough is prepared.
-
Prepare chocolate: Coarsely chop 8 squares of the semi-sweet chocolate and set them aside for later use.
-
Melt chocolate: In a large microwavable bowl, place the remaining 8 squares of semi-sweet chocolate and microwave them on HIGH for 1-2 minutes, or until fully melted and smooth. Stir the chocolate occasionally during heating to ensure even melting.
-
Combine ingredients: To the melted chocolate, add the brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir the mixture until well combined.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the chocolate mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
-
Add extras: Gently fold in the reserved chopped chocolate and chopped nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Portion dough: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out portions of the cookie dough and drop them onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving enough space between each portion for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and feel set to the touch.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps the cookies set properly and prevents them from crumbling when moved.
-
Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in the divine richness of these Death by Chocolate Cookies with a tall glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage. Share with friends and family or savor them all to yourself—they’re simply irresistible!
These Death by Chocolate Cookies are a delightful combination of intense chocolate flavor, chewy texture, and crunchy nuts, making them the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you’re baking for a special event or simply satisfying your sweet tooth, these cookies are sure to impress! 🍪✨
