Devil’s Food Fudge Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 3/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until smooth and glossy.
6. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick, fudgy dough forms.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still slightly soft in the middle.
10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Devil’s Food Fudge Cookies are best enjoyed warm with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week, though they are so delicious, they might not last that long! So go ahead, whip up a batch of these irresistible cookies and treat yourself to a little slice of chocolatey heaven. Your taste buds will thank you!
