    Chocolate Truffle Cookies are the ultimate chocolate cookie. Three kinds of chocolate for cookies that are nice and crisp on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside.
    Pile of chocolate cookies and one cookie with bite taken out.
    I always use good quality ingredients when baking and it is especially important for these chocolate cookies.
    For the best results making these cookies, use best quality chocolate! The better the quality of chocolate you use, the better the flavour. These cookies are a decadent treat, worth the splurge on some fine quality ingredients.

    I think this recipe should come with a warning because they are only for the serious Chocoholic! Great crisp texture on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.

    Ingredients
      

    • ½ cup plus 2 tbsp. all purpose flour
    • 1 ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 10 ounces good quality bitter sweet chocolate chopped
    • ¼ cup plus 1 tbsp. butter room temperature
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 large eggs room temperature
    • ½ tablespoon vanilla
    • 1 cup good quality bitter sweet chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
    • In a bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
    • Using a heat proof bowl melt chocolate in microwave at 50% power, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth, set aside to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
    • In large mixing bowl using paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until creamy.
    • Add eggs, one at a time mixing well in between.
    • Increase speed to high and beat for about 3 minutes until batter is light and pale in colour, scrape bowl as needed.
    • Turn mixer to low, add in melted chocolate and vanilla, combine just until incorporated.
    • Remove bowl from mixer and with spatula fold in flour mixture. (do not over mix )
    • Stir in chocolate chips.
    • Immediately scoop dough onto cookie sheets (heaping tablespoon) about 2 inches apart.
    • As dough will harden quickly scoop all dough onto cookies sheets. It is best to bake all cookies at once if you have a convection oven, if not keep cookies at room temperature until ready to bake next batch.
    • Bake 14-16 minutes until tops evenly crack, turn cookie sheet halfway through baking time.
    • Leave cookies to cool on cookie sheet on wire rack before removing.

        Hi Sonia, sorry I forgot to add the word cup. The amount of butter you need is 1/4 cup plus an additional 1 tablespoon. Hope you enjoy this chocolate cookie.

          Hi Candy, no measure 1/4 cup of butter and an additional 1 tablespoon. (4 tablespoons of butter actually measures out to be more than 1/4 cup)

      Do these cookies freeze well? If not, how long can they be kept before eating?

      Do you believe in the whole freezing the cookie dough before baking it?

        Hi Erica, for certain cookies it does work well. It really depends on the recipe.

          We are a small family and I usually freeze cookie dough into balls and freeze. Then I just back the number needed so we don’t feel like we need to eat 3 or 4 dozen at a whack 😁. I’ve not had a problem with any of my cookie recipes going from freezer to oven. I am interested in which cookies you have found to not work well with this method. Would sure save me from failure!

            Sherry, I don't often freeze cookie dough but most freeze very well with the the exception of meringue based ones like macarons or delicate cookies like my Mom's Whipped shortbread. Sugar cookies, peanut butter, chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies freeze well.
