Even butterscotch blondies can become cookies..just drop the dough onto a cookie sheet. These have a soft center and super crisp edges. They also have melted chocolate swirled into each cookie before aking...yummy!! Ingredients:
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature |
2 cups light brown sugar, packed |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 large eggs |
Directions:
1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven.
2. Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Put the chocolate in a heatproof container on the top of a double boiler and place it over, but not touching, a saucepan of barely simmering water (or the bottom of a double boiler).
4. Stir the chocolate until it is melted and smooth. Remove from the water and set aside.
5. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
6. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, brown sugar and vanilla until smoothly blended - about 1 minute.
7. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed during mixing.
8. Add the eggs and mix until blended - about 1 minute.
9. On low speed, add the flour mixture, mixing just until it is incorporated.
10. Drop heaping tablespoonsful of dough 3 apart on prepared baking sheet.
11. Drizzle about 1/4 teaspoon of the melted chocolate over the top of each cookie.
12. Using a small sharp knife, gently swirl the chocolate once or twice through the cookie to marbelize it.
13. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the tops feel soft and the edges are lightly browned.about 11 minutes.
14. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes., then using a wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
15. The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
