A super chocolatey mudslide cookies made with 2 different kinds of chocolate – unsweetened and dark. I forgot to put baking powder in them this time (trying to do too many things at once), but I think they came out ok. A big chubby blob of chocolate!
These use cake flour. If you don’t have it, you can combine 6 tbs of cornstarch with 3 cups all purpose flour for a homemade version. I know mudslide cookies usually come out flatter, but I like my cookies puffy, so i chilled the scooped out dough a few hours before baking.
Ingredients list
8 tbs butter
7 oz unsweetened chocolate
6 oz dark chocolate chips (1 cup)
8 tbs butter
7 eggs
2 3/4 cups sugar
1 tbs water
3 cups cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
Directions – in a microwave safe bowl, melted both chocolates and butter in 45 second increments until you can stir smooth. In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar and water medium high speed 6 to 8 minutes. Blend in melted chocolate mixture. Fold in dry ingredients. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies on sheet.
Bake cookies 12 to 14 minutes, no longer. Cool completely. Pop in fridge for a half hour.
Remove and store at room temp in covered container
One last ode to summer – smores cookies that feature hot cocoa mix, marshmallow bits, crushed chocolate graham cracker crumbs and milk chocolate chips. And a half of a mini hershey bar pressed on top of each cookie immediately after being removed from the oven.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. You can use regular graham cracker crumbs or none at all. I recommend chilling the doughs for a few hours before baking. I used a mix of butter and butter crisco. You can use all butter or a mix of butter and regular crisco. I used a combo of bread flour and all purpose flour. But you can use entirely all purpose flour.

These are a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe with a box of instant vanilla pudding mix added and I used a mix of milk, white and semisweet chocolate chips.

For my non chocolate loving friends, I present these – white chocolate chip cookies with dulce le leche baked in, for a hunt of caramel flavor. I also tossed in some coconut extract, which you can leave out if you want.

And preheat your oven before baking.

For opening day of the MLB playoffs, these humongous peanut butter cookies are one of the two I am bringing in. I added some finely ground honey roasted peanuts and pressed peanut butter chips in the tops of cookies immediately after they came out of the oven. The reason? I forgot to put them in the dough before baking. 🙂

Remember to scoop your flour and baking cocoa from their containers into your measuring cups so you get the right amount. And preheat your oven before baking. I think i baked these 15 to 18 minutes.
