Chocolate Truffle Cookies

These Chocolate Truffle Cookies have a soft fudgy middle, chewy edges, and a crackly brownie-like top. They taste amazing whether they are warm and fresh from the oven, chilled, or even room temperature days later!

These Chocolate Truffle Cookies make really fabulous ice cream sandwiches! Try pairing them with my favorite No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream (it’s different than any other 2-ingredient no churn recipe you’ve ever tried, I promise) or this Homemade Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip.

Ingredients

•  4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (4 squares)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6 tbsp butter
•  3 eggs
•  1 cup white sugar
•  1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
•  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•  2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
•  1/8 tsp baking powder
•  1/8 tsp baking soda
•  1/4 tsp salt
•  1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or a high quality chocolate bar, chopped

Directions

1. Either in the microwave or over medium-low heat on the stove, melt together the unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the butter. Stir until smooth and set aside.
2. Use an electric mixer to whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and thick. Switch to a paddle attachment and gradually mix in the melted chocolate.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the eggs, sugar, and chocolate. Mix until batter (dough) forms.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Heat oven to 350ºF and place the batter in the refrigerator until oven is preheated. The batter will have firmed a little bit, but don’t be alarmed if it is still looser than normal cookie dough. That’s okay.
6. Use a 56mm cookie scoop (1/4 cup) to scoop batter onto a lined cookie sheet (I baked 6 at a time). Bake for 9 minutes and then let cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Remember– it’s okay if they look a little underdone, that’s the goal! These cookies are yummy fresh, chilled, or even a few days old at room temp!

Chocolate Truffle Cookies

Yield: 12-14 cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 9 minutes

Total Time: 24 minutes

These amazing truffle cookies are so good fresh out of the oven or even a few days later. With a brownie like exterior and a melt-y soft inside, these cookies are utterly decadent and irresistible. The "dough" will resemble a thick brownie batter, because the recipe calls for so little flour. In fact, the dough is primarily made up of a sort-of chocolate ganache-- which is why these cookies are so truffle-like!

Heat oven to 350ºF and place the batter in the refrigerator until oven is preheated**. The batter will have firmed a little bit, but don't be alarmed if it is still looser than normal cookie dough. That's okay.

Use a 56mm cookie scoop (1/4 cup)* to scoop batter onto a lined cookie sheet (I baked 6 at a time). Bake for 9 minutes and then let cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Remember-- it's okay if they look a little underdone, that's the goal!

Notes

If you bake smaller-sized cookies, be sure to adjust your baking time (to maybe 7 or 8 minutes) so that the cookies stay a little under-baked in the middle.
