Are you clumsy?
Do you trip on flat ground, walk into glass doors, cut into the side of your finger with a bread knife? ...maybe it's just me.
No matter how small the calamity, afterwards I always feel the shame, embarrassment, died-a-little-inside feeling. This can always be remedied by a baked good, something which is so spectacular, it's amazing-ness completely blocks out that shameful moment, and brings rays of happy sunshine time into your face, because after a disaster, you know you deserve it!
Yeah and go get that thing you've always wanted, but put off buying,
Here's 3.6 kgs of chocolate,
from me, to me.
So, for the extremeness of the cutting my finger situation (see the bandage?), I needed some Extreme Chocolate Cookies. Yeah I said it, extreme chocolate, you'd better believe it.
Extreme Chocolate Cookies
makes 30-40 cookies
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
4 1/2 oz semi/bittersweet chocolate
6 tbsp butter
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 oz white chocolate chips
12oz semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together first 4 ingredients into a small bowl.
Melt the 4 1/2 oz of chocolate in a microwave or over a pan of simmering water.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in eggs, vanilla and melted chocolate. Mix in the flour mixture and chocolate chips until well combined.
Line a baking tray with baking paper, scoop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the tray and bake for 6-8 minutes, making sure you don't over cook them, they should be soft and gooey. Let cool on tray for a minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
