Ghirardelli Dutch Chocolate Doughnuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, wiping off any excess on the top of the tin.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, begin beating the eggs and yolk on medium-high speed. Slowly stream in the sugar while beating and continue to beat until mixture is pale and thickened and ribbons down from the beater when lifted. Scrape down sides of the bowl and beater as needed.
• Beat in the oil until fully incorporated. Scrape down bowl and beater and beat in sour cream and vanilla until evenly incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and fold in until only a few visible streaks remain. Add 8 1/2 ounces of the chocolate chips and fold in just until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, smoothing the tops if needed but keeping the scoops mounded. Top each with some of the remaining chocolate and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
• Bake muffins in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out free of wet batter (it may come out with melted chocolate), 18 to 20 minutes. Cool muffins in pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature, or in the refrigerator to keep for more than a few days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Stir flour with baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with both sugars at medium speed until creamy and lightened in color.
• Add eggs and vanilla, one at a time. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
• Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until chocolate chip cookies are golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously coat a 3-inch doughnut pan with cooking spray; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
• In a small bowl, combine the egg, milk, and melted butter. Add all at once to flour mixture; stir just until smooth. Stir in mini baking chips.
• Spoon the batter into a large resealable plastic bag; snip off one corner of the bag. Pipe the batter into the prepared pan, filling the rings about three-fourths full.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 2 to 3 minutes. Invert doughnuts onto a wire rack. Cool the pan, wipe it out, and coat the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Repeat filling the pan and baking with remaining batter. Cool doughnuts completely.
• Chocolate Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine chopped chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla. Stir in enough hot water to make a thick glaze of drizzling consistency.
• Place a sheet of waxed paper under the wire rack. Generously spoon the glaze over the doughnuts, allowing the excess to drip off. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Let stand until glaze is set.
