Totally Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Name: Totally Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 125 grams dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids); 150 grams plain flour; 30 grams cocoa powder (sieved); 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda; ½ teaspoon salt; 125 grams soft unsalted butter; 75 grams soft light brown sugar; 50 grams white sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 large egg (cold from the fridge); 350 grams dark chocolate chips (or semi sweet chocolate morsels)

Instructions

Along with chocolate, there is much comfort to be gleaned from reading cookbooks. This recipe combines two loves by being chocolatey to the point of madness and having revealed itself to me after a cosy, snuggled-down read of Elinor Klivans' glorious Big Fat Cookies. What I do is make up the full batch of these (hard to divide it really, since it contains only 1 egg) and form all 12 cookies, but bake only half and freeze the other half. I freeze them on a little tray and, once they're hard, I bung them in a freezer bag, seal it and stash it back in the freeze, to bake them unthawed at a later date. That way, I've got 6 chocolate cookies to keep me and my family happy without any time or effort. This is what I call an investment. And it's worth it — these are the chocolatiest cookies you will ever come across.
