SALTED CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE COOKIES
 
 
Ingredients
  • 300g dark chocolate, chopped (11 oz)
  • 30g unsalted butter (1 oz)
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup plain flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt (plus extra, for sprinkling)
  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips (I used a Lindt Sea Salt Excellence Bar, chopped)
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) and line trays with baking paper.
  2. Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring between each burst, until chocolate and butter are melted, smooth and combined.
  3. Whisk in the sugar. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, stirring to combine.
  5. Allow the dough to cool a little, then stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Chill the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  7. Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto the prepared trays. Sprinkle each cookie with a little sea salt (optional and to taste).
  8. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are slightly cracked.
  9. Allow to cool before removing from trays. Makes about 20 cookies.
  10. Happy baking!
