| Author Notes: | You can use either regular or Dutched cocoa powder in these divine domes o' heaven. If you don't want to eat or serve them all at once, go ahead and scoop the dough into round portions on a plate lined with plastic wrap. Freeze, then transfer frozen dough balls to a resealable plastic bag. When you need to satisfy your chocolate cravings in short order, separate the balls on a baking sheet, thaw a few minutes, and bake. This recipe comes from Letty Flatt, who is the head baker at Deer Valley Resort in the mountains of Utah, which along with these excellent cookies, I believe is quite close to heaven. |
| Ingredients: |
1/2 pound unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder 2 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup cashews, toasted and chopped 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
| Instructions: |
Makes About 24 Cookies Preheat oven to 325° F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or oil them lightly with vegetable oil. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder. Mix well, stopping once to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix into the creamed butter mixture, scraping again. Stir in the cashews and chocolate chips. Scoop the cookie dough into large (1/4 cup) balls, arranging them at least 2 inches apart, 8 on each baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are just flat, 20 to 25 minutes, turning and rotating the baking sheets as necessary for even baking. Let cool about 10 minutes before transferring from the baking sheet to the cooling rack. Once cool, store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. |
