Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Bake

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup A/P flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar and/or additional cocoa powder for dusting the baked truffles.

Steps:

  • In the top of a doubleboiler melt unsweetened chocolate with 1 cup chocolate chips and butter. Cool 10 minutes. In a medium mixing bowl beat sugar and eggs two minutes. Beat in vanilla and cooled chocolate mixture. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Beat into chocolate mixture. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate at least three hours. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove about 1 cup dough from refrigerator. With lightly floured hands roll into 1-inch balls. Place on baking sheets. NOTE: You might want to test-bake a sample truffle to find the best baking time for desired results. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly puffed and set. Don't overbake to retain somewhat soft centers. Cool cookies on pan 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to cooling racks. Repeat with remaining dough. Dusting the truffles: Place the cooling rack over a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan, etc., to catch the surplus powder. Using a strainer containing either confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder, dust the truffles. (My preference is cocoa powder.) Store in sealed container such as tupperware or cookie tin, etc. Best eaten within two or three days.
