Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Iris Warren

Report

Adapted from Chocolate & Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen By Clotilde Dusoulier This makes a slightly crumbly cookie dough and will take a bit of coaxing to get the rounds into shape. I use Dutch-process cocoa powder, which is darker than natural cocoa powders (such as most supermarket brands, like Nestlé and Hershey's), although it might be interesting to experiment with some of the cocoa powders made by bean-to-bar chocolate makers. For more on cocoa powder, check out my Cocoa powder FAQs.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a small bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda together.
In a clean, dry bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or in a microwave), melt half of the chocolate (2½ oz, 70g), then let cool to room temperature. Mix the other half of the chocolate chunks a bowl with the cocoa nibs.
Beat the butter with a standing electric mixer, or by hand, just until smooth. Beat in the sugar, salt and vanilla or chocolate extract.
By hand, stir in the melted chocolate, then the flour & cocoa mixture. Then finally the chocolate chunks and nibs.
Scoop the dough into 1-inch (3cm) rounds and place evenly-spaced apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten the tops slightly (the edges may crack a bit, which is normal) and sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt, if desired, then bake for 9 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets midway during baking, until the cookies take on a slightly dry sheen on the top but feel soft when you touch them.
