Dorie'S Dark And Stormy Cookies
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (plus 3 Tbsps.)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small bits
- Sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda together in small bowl; set aside. Beat the butter until smooth in bowl of an electric mixer at medium speed. Add the sugars, vanilla and salt; beat 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low; add the flour mixture, mixing until incorporated but still crumbly, and being careful not to overwork the dough. Stir in the chocolate pieces.
- Turn the dough out onto a smooth work surface; squeeze it so that it sticks together in large clumps. (If you need to, it's OK to lightly flour the work surface.) Gather the dough into a ball; divide in half. Shape each ball into a log 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap logs in plastic wrap; chill at least 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Gently slice logs into 1/2-inch rounds using a serrated knife (some will crumble; simply press broken bits back onto cookie). Place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake, one sheet at a time, 14 minutes; cookies will not look done or be firm. Cool on pan 5 minutes; transfer to cooling rack. Cool to room temperature.
