These are the most beautiful chocolate cookies that I have tried, and everyone who has tried them was left speechless. I needed several experiments to bring them to this state, and the most important part I have to admit is the baking time which must be relatively short to keep the softness inside. I made a few rounds for the holidays and I gave away some as gifts, some we ate, it was like spreading love everywhere. The preparation is simple, in 2-3 times, you won't even need a recipe. They are amazing!
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 g melted chocolate (dark)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa hazelnut cream
- 60 g melted butter
- 1 flat teaspoon of cinnamon
- a little nutmeg
- 180 g flour
- 1 flat teaspoon of baking powder
Preparation:
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar, add the vanilla extract.
- Add the melted chocolate with the butter and the cocoa cream and mix well.
- Add the spices, flour and baking powder, whisk briefly until combined. You will immediately feel the beautiful scents that will spread from the mixture.
- Cover the mixture with nylon foil and put it in the freezer for about 40 minutes to harden.
- Take a large baking tray and line it with parchment paper. You will need to bake 2 times.
- Remove the mixture from the freezer.
- With a spoon, take from the mixture and shape balls the size of a walnut with your hands.
- Arrange balls on the baking tray at a greater distance because they grow in the baking. 12 to 15 cookies per baking.
- Place immediately to bake in a preheated oven at 180 C (350 F) degrees for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the remaining balls and if there is time, put them in the freezer to cool before baking.
- After 10 minutes of baking, take the first round out. They will be soft on touch and you will think they still need to be baked, but they don't. Leave them for 1 minute and transfer cookies slowly on a plate, if necessary, use knife. Bake the second round as well.
- As they cool, you will see that they form a crust from the outside. They are the most beautiful when they cool completely (if you can resist), cookies will be firm on the outside, and soft inside and will melt in your mouth.
