Gooey Dark Chocolate Truffle Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• In the microwave or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup of the chocolate chips, and the butter stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whip eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and the chocolate mixture until well mixed. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into the chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips. Cover dough and chill for at least an hour or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets so they are 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Position racks in the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. (If you don't have 3 pans, simply cool the pan between batches.)
• Put the butter and the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 75 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir and heat again until melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolates and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
• Stir the light brown and granulated sugars and vanilla into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
• In another bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cherries, if using.
• Drop the batter in heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets--a small ice cream scoop is ideal for this. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies set but are soft and fudgy on the inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve.
• Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to a week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° with racks in center and upper third. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Rub butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in chocolate.
• Whisk together egg and vanilla. Add egg mixture to chocolate mixture; stir with a fork until mixture is slightly moistened. Form dough into a ball; wrap in plastic; refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Shape dough into tablespoon-size balls. Roll each in powdered sugar to coat; place on sheets 2" apart. Bake until just set but still slightly undercooked, about 10 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk cocoa powder, 1 cup powdered sugar, cornstarch and salt together making sure there are no lumps. Set aside. In another bowl (microwave-safe), place 1 cup of chocolate chips and melt in microwave in 30 second increments until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Switch to paddle attachment and slowly mix in 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Add cocoa mixture and mix until combined. Pour in warm melted chocolate and 1/2 cup chocolate chips and stir until completely combined. Dough should be very stiff and thick. If it's not, let it rest for a few minutes without touching it and it will stiffen up. Place 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll 2 rounded tablespoons of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar as thin or thick as you want. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat this process with remaining dough. Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes but no longer than 10 minutes or they will burn. They will look underdone, but that is how they are supposed to look. Allow them to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes or until able to be easily removed without breaking.
