A chocolate lover’s dream come true, these chocolate fudge cookies are soft, slightly chewy and packed with over a pound of chocolate! That’s over1 ounce of chocolate in each cookie!
I love anything chocolate. The more the merrier. And not just quantity speaking, but richness also! You know what I’m talking about, those chocolate treats that you need a glass of milk near by.
That’s the case for these chocolate fudge cookies. At first I wanted to name them chocolate brownie cookies, but they are so rich and decadent, way, way better than the brownie cookies I’ve previously made. Those are still good, but these willmake you weak at the knees.
These triple chocolate fudge cookies are fudgy, rich, intense, and decadent. The edges are chewy, the center is gooeyand every bite is oozing with melted chocolate!
These cookies are made completely from scratch, no cake mix, no brownie mix, no pudding mix, no shortcuts. It takes a little patience, but trust me, it’s so worth it!
Just like the chocolate chip cookies I shared with you earlier in the month, these cookies are not your last-minute chocolate treat. They take time! A couple of hours. But remember, the more you chill the dough, the more flavorful the cookies will turn out!
Actually, this cookie dough needs to be chilled twice.
The first time is right after you mix in all the ingredients! The dough is not exactly scoop able.Pop your mixing bowl into the freezer for a half hour or until the dough is chilled enough to scoop out balls.
Once the cookie dough is scooped,chill the cookiesfor at least 2hours in the fridge. Don’t skip either of the chilling steps!
I love my OXO ice-cream scoop. Makes portioning the cookie dough such an easy task! Definitely worth the investment!
A word of warning – don’t refrigerate the whole bowl for hours! The cookie dough will harden too much and you won’t be able to scoop it out! If that happens to you, leave the bowl on the counter for a little bit, until soft enough to handle, and refrigerate the scooped cookie dough for a couple of hours before baking.
To make these off the chart chocolate fudge cookies, you start by melting8 ounces of chocolate withbutter in a microwave or in a double boiler. Melting the chocolate with the butter will prevent the chocolate from seizing. If you choose to use the microwave, take the bowl out every 30 seconds and give it a gentle stir. Doing so, there are less chances you’ll burn the chocolate.
While the chocolate is melting, in a mixing bowl, beat together 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla until pale and creamy, for about 5 minutes at medium speed. The mixture thickens up and become slightly frothy.
This recipe calls for just brown sugar,which enhances the moist, fudgy texture.
Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and gently fold in a little bit of flour.
With a spatula fold in some chopped nuts and 4 more ounces of chocolate.They are like unexpected nuggets of bliss. This time I used a mix of chocolate chips and chunks, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
Once the cookies are baked dot them with a few extra chocolate chips on top. You know, for looks. There is always room for more chocolate, right?
If you’re still craving chocolate after trying these soft and chewy triple chocolate fudge cookies, I’m sure you’ll find something else at this year’s chocolate party to satisfy your desires!
