Directions:- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add butter and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary to evenly cream it.
- Add the sugars, sifted cocoa powder and chipotle peppers and mix again at medium speed until light and fluffy, (about one minute)
- Add eggs, vanilla and water. Beat at medium speed until combined, (about 30 seconds)
- Add slightly cooled melted chocolate and mix again, scraping bowl to evenly mix everything.
- Add the flour mixture, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
- When well incorporated, add the chips and mix briefly, about 5 seconds.
- Refrigerate the dough in the bowl until cool and fudge-like, but not solid for approximately 1 hour.
- You can use an ice cream scoop to create large, even sized cookies.
*** These cookie-dough balls can also be frozen at this point, and baked right from the freezer whenever the need arises.
- When ready to bake, press the tops of the cookie dough-balls into the sugar, and then top with 2 to 3 pieces of dark chocolate chips.
- Place onto parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing space for the cookies to spread.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes,
- Remove the cookies from the oven when they are still a little underdone.
- Slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a cooling rack and allow to cool before removing from parchment. |
