I was craving for some chocolate cookies yesterday. Not just a plain chocolate chip cookie. But the decadent kind that is loaded with chocolate, and all you want to say after taking a bite is Mmmmm…..Mmmmmm and Mmmmmm ! So here they are ! Rich, chocolaty and soft…. I had to quickly shoot a few photos before they were all gone !
This is my first time using coconut sugar. Its taste and sweetness are very similar to brown sugar. I do find it gives the cookies a slightly drier texture. The cranberries are optional, but I thought it’s nice to add some tanginess. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do !
Makes about 16 cookies
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 60 g coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 50 g dark chocolate, 70%, (chopped into small chunks)
- 50 g semi-sweet chocolate (chopped into small chunks)
- 60 g dried cranberries
- Preheat oven to 350ºF
- Sift together flour,cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, set aside
- Cream together butter and sugars using either an electric mixer with the paddle attachment or by hand with a wooden spoon (I just did it by hand)
- Add egg and vanilla, mix until blended
- Mix in flour mixture in two parts
- Stir in chocolate chunks and dried cranberries
- Drop about 1 tablespoon each of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, about 2 inches apart
- Bake for about 12 minutes
- Cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then completely on rack
those look so yummy! I love chocolate and cranberry…
