CHOCOLATE EXTREMES (DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, combine the finely chopped bittersweet chocolate, butter and espresso. Stir occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, combine eggs and sugar and whip until the mixture is light in color and increases substantially in volume, about 10 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Stir in the melted chocolate. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder and fold them into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chunks.
• Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Drop the batter by heaping tablespoons onto the paper, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake until the cookies are slightly puffed and cracked on the outside but gooey inside, about 10 to 14 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets.

OUTRAGEOUS CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

EXTREME CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt until well combined.
• In another large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter, margarine, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
• Add in the egg and egg yolk; beat for about 5-6 minutes (no sugar granules should remain in the batter!).
• Add in the flour mixture and mix JUST until completely combined with the electric mixer (batter will be thick).
• Cover and chill the batter for about 5 hours (or overnight).
• Set oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease a large baking pan.
• Drop about 2 heaping tablespoons cookie dough onto a baking sheet (if using a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet you should get 8 cookies on the sheet, two across and four rows).
• Bake for about 8 minutes or until the cookies are just set and begin to crack on top.
• Cool the cookies in the baking pan then transfer to a rack (the cookies will firm up while sitting).
