GIANT BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE TOFFEE COOKIES



Giant Bittersweet Chocolate Toffee Cookies image

This recipe (from Bon Appetit) appeared in the cooking section of our paper last Wednesday, and after reading the description, I knew I must make them. They live up to the hype... "there are times when too much of a good thing is never enough, when the entire bag of chocolate chips you have stuffed in the cupboard, ostensibly for baking, only serves to intensify your craving and ratchet up your crazy factor. I'd demand one of these cookies for my last supper. Let's be clear: you don't waste these cookies on your kids. You make them for a dinner party for a bunch of foodie friends"... I even loved the BATTER of these cookies, and the cookies were as delicious, as promised. However, a friend made a batch, substituting some ingredients and they were too cloyingly sweet....using premium dark chocolate is key! The original recipe did not include chocolate chips, and the food writer made the addition of walnuts optional. I added both, but instead of chips, I used chunks of the same quality chocolate that I used in the batter. This was my favourite new recipe this season..chocolate nirvana!

Time 1h15m

Yield 18 cookies, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened) or 1 lb semisweet chocolate, chopped (not unsweetened)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 3/4 cups brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
7 ounces chocolate-covered english toffee bars, coarsely chopped (such as 5 Heath Bars)
1 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl; whisk to blend. Stir chocolate and butter in top of double boiler set over simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from over water. Cool mixture to lukewarm.
  • Using electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs in bowl until thick, about 5 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, then toffee and nuts (and optional chips). Chill batter until firm, about 45 minutes. (I spread the batter in a 11"x7" glass pan, and when firm divided the batter into 18 squares and fashioned balls by hand and then flattened them -- this made even sized cookies without using a scoop).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto sheets, spacing 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake just until tops are dry and cracked but cookies are still soft to touch, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheets. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.).

AMAZING GIANT CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE COOKIES



Amazing Giant Chocolate-Toffee Cookies image

These are wonderful and oh so chocolaty! The toffee adds a really nice flavor to the cookies, too. These are big cookies--probably 4" diameter. So, you can make them smaller if you prefer. Prep time doesn't include time to chill dough.

  • Beat in the vanilla and then add in the egg and egg yolk and continue beating until the mixture is light and creamy.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

  • Space cookies about 3 inches apart and bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
  • The cookies are done when the edges are golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire racks to finish cooling.
