Incredibly light tasting not too sweet choclate-y cookies. These will be winners for any cookie fan. I don't feel as guilty when I eat them for they are not super sweet. The recipe was passed on by an American Icon we all know. Ingredients:
4 ounces semisweet chocolate |
1/2 cup butter |
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup natural brown sugar (organic light brown) |
1 egg, beaten |
2 tablespoons dark unsulphured molasses |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
powdered sugar, to dust when baked and cooled (if you like) |
Directions:
1. preheat oven 350-370.
2. in heat resistant bowl or saucepan heat butter and chocolate. stir to blend.
3. in seperate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa and salt.
4. after butter and chocolate cool add egg, brown sugar, molasses and vanilla, whisk together.
5. mix in flour mixture and stir.
6. scoop up in medium spoonfuls, roll into balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
7. bake until tops are crackled but center is soft ( don't burn yourself!)- approximately 12 minutes, let cool approximately 5 minutes. Move from tray and dust with powdered sugar or simply eat!
