CHOCOLATE BOUCHONS

Steps:

• Place the flour, sifted cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl and whisk. Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla in a stand mixer and whisk on med-low speed, scraping down sides and bottom of the bowl. With the mixer running, alternating between the two, add the butter and flour in 3 additions. Then mix to combine well, scraping the bowl as necessary.
• Remove the bowl, fold in chocolate chips. Let sit in a cool spot ( not the refrigerator) for 2 hours. The batter can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to two days, but make sure to let sit at room temp for two hours before filling the molds.
• Preheat oven to 350F
• Using a pastry bag or spoon, fill the bouchon mold, stopping just below the rim.
• Bake for 12 minutes in a convection oven, or 16 minutes ins a standard oven. Remove mold from the oven and let stand 10 minutes(so that they will hold their shape), then unmold the bouchons on a cooling rack, turn right side up and let cool completely.
• Dust the tops with powdered sugar.

CHOCOLATE BOUCHONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F.
• Place muffin liners in a 12 cup muffin pan. Set aside.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
• In another large bowl, mix eggs and sugar with a handheld mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes, or until very pale in color. Mix in vanilla.
• On low speed, add about 1/3 of the dry ingredients, then 1/3 of butter. Continue alternating with the remaining flour and butter. Add the chocolate chips and mix to combine. The batter can be refrigerated up to one day.
• Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. When the tops look shiny and set(like a brownie), test one cake with a toothpick: it should come out clean but not dry.
• Move the bouchons in their liners to a cooling rack. After a few minutes, invert the bouchons and let them cool upside down in their liners; then lift off the liners.
• The bouchons are best eaten the day they are baked.
• Invert bouchons and dust them with confectioner's sugar.
• Serve with ice cream if you like!
• Makes 12 servings. Enjoy!
