Well, one thing I’ve gotta say for Nigella Lawson is- she does chocolate right! This is the second chocolate recipe of hers I’ve made and it was way yummed out! The first chocolate recipe I made was her Triple Chocolate Brownies and you can find that recipe here. This cookie is sooo great! I am so happy I made it and it will definitely be making a repeat performance-often!
Intense Chocolate Cookies
Servings: 12 -16
Ingredients
- 4 Ounces Dark Chocolate
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter at Room Temperature
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar Firmly Packed
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Large Egg
- 12 Ounces Semisweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a double boiler, set over simmering water, melt the 4 ounces of chocolate.
- In a large bowl, add flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and both the sugars until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate and stir well. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Then fold in the chocolate chips
- Scoop out 12 equal portions of the dough and place on a Silpat lined baking sheet. Do not flatten dough scoops. They will flatten and spread as they bake. ( I placed 6 globs per baking sheet. )
- Bake 18 minutes or until tester inserted into the center of a cookie comes out semi-clean and not overly wet with batter.
- Allow to cool for 4-5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack. YUM

Those look good! I have never made a Nigella recipe! Can you believe that? I have 2 of her books and still have never gotten around to making anything–this might be the one!!

You lost me at double boiler…but the cookies sound so good!
Welcome to SITS… I look forward to coming back to see what's for dinner.
I'm hosting a great giveaway, come on over! 😀

“way way yummed out” — that is such a cute phrase!
p.s. Welcome to the SITS community!

Debinhawaii says
Great choice–love the name and how good and chocolaty they look. A scale that converts to metric is such a great tool to have for recipes like these.
Katy ~ says
I bought a scale not too long ago so that I could start using metric weights. It's the weigh of the future LOL
Cookies sound like a chocoloate lover's dream come true.
Young Wife says
Wow, those do look intense! I should make the for my chocaholic mother.
carma says
I just made a big batch of chocolate chip cookies – and calculated that I ate enough raw dough to qualify for 12 cookies. (Was supposed to make 48 cookies. I ended up with 30 something)
This looks like another great recipe to try.
Welcome to SITS. I know that you will enjoy being a part of this vibrant community of bloggers 🙂

Kathleen, thanks for visiting yesterday. I started a food blog, too – Foodie Newbies, but haven't done much with it. You're inspiring me.
I'm 52 but just now teaching myself how to cook. Hubster is a chef, so I don't really need to, but am enjoying. Lots of trial & error!

Hi Kathleen, thanks for stopping by The Hut and becoming a follower, so nice to find those who are kindred tiki spirits!
A few months ago I designed a cookbook for a bunch of international bloggers and the conversions and ingredient translations were, to put it mildly, a real challenge. Still not sure if we got everything right, but it was a brave effort.
btw, I'm all over those Cranberry Cookie Bars you posted a few days ago!

I loved everything about this post–and the cookies are awesome!

Gotta love the name intense chocolate cookies. It really catches your attention, doesn't it? They look delicious.
ModernMom says
Oh they sound so so good!
Norm says
your photos just keep getting better and better…good enough to eat!
Natashya Kitchen Puppies says
Yum! I agree, the lady does chocolate right!
Being Canadian, we have one foot in metric (our official measurement) and one foot in imperial (being so close to such an influencial country as the U.S.!)
Either way, I have found that weighing is actually easiest and uses less dishes. Yay for digital scales!
Thanks for bringing such delicious cookies to the cookie exchange!
