We definitely need some chocolate today.
Chocolate stuffed with chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt.
I made these as a second treat for Shawn’s birthday. That’s not exactly true. I mean, it is, but what I really mean is I used Shawn’s birthday as an excuse to make some cookies that I really wanted to try. And it just so happens that Shawn’s a big fan of a strong not-overly-sweet chocolate flavor, which is what I expected from these cookies, so it was the perfect opportunity to bake up a treat that I had been eyeing.
I read through the recipe several times to see if I’d overlooked where it said to add the egg, but it turns out there’s no egg in these. Excellent (eggs-cellent?) for eating uncooked cookie dough people with egg allergies.
These cookies were a perfect texture. Slightly crisp on the outside and they gave way to a chewy interior, and then there were the melty semisweet bits for an extra boost of chocolaty goodness. And don’t even get me started on the sprinkling of sea salt – that MADE these cookies.
Like I told you in the Snickers Brownies post, I took Shawn’s birthday treats to our dinner at Chili’s. I shared a couple with our waiter as well as a waitress who asked for one after having a bite of the first cookie I gave our waiter. Pretty bold of her, huh? That should tell you just how good they were.
One note: I used Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder, which provided the base of the not-so-sweet chocolate flavor. If you use regular unsweetened cocoa powder, they’ll probably be a little less bold.
Hope your weeks are off to a great start!
