Truly Awesome Triple Chocolate Fudge-Y Cookies.
- 3 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
- 1 12 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (Avoid using the bar kind, it changes the texture so that they flatten out and it's a bit too rich.)
- 7 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces (unsalted)
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I use imitation and can't tell any difference other than having extra money to spend!)
- 3 eggs (large, at room temperature- something to do with consistency.)
- 1 cup sugar
- 12 cup all-purpose flour
- 12 teaspoon baking powder
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 1 12 cups semisweet chocolate, chips. (For both of the chocolate chip requirements, I just used the whole bag which is a little less than t)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt the first three ingredients together in a heatproof bowl set over boiling water (I use a Pyrex glass bowl.)
- Stir it until it is completely smooth (this will take a while.)
- Then set the bowl to the side to cool a little.
- Apparently, if you don't let it cool it will cook the eggs and change the texture.
- In a separate, small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee and vanilla extract together completely.
- Mix together the eggs and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium-high speed until it becomes thick and pale.
- This will take about four minutes.
- You can do it by hand but it takes a lot longer (not to mention a lot of arm power!)
- Then, mix in the coffee and vanilla mixture completely.
- Reduce the speed and mix in the chocolate mixture until it is completely mixed inches.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- (You don't want to skip this step- once the mixture is in there, it is rather hard to mix.)
- Add the flour mixture and your semisweet chocolate chips.
- Mix well.
- Now, let it stand for about half of an hour at room temperature with plastic wrap over the top.
- This allows it to firm up and makes it really easy to scoop up.
- It will be quite thick when you come back.
- Place a generous tablespoon of batter onto a parchment lined or nonstick baking pan about two inches apart.
- Bake for about 13-15 minutes until the cookies are cracked on top and have a nice glossy look.
- Switch the cookies to cool baking sheets and let them cool completely before eating (the chocolate chips are like molten lava!
- ).
