⏲️ Prep Time: 20 min
🍳 Bake Time: 12 min
🍽️ Yields: 15–16 cookies
🥣 Ingredients
- 115 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 25 g unsalted butter (80% fat), cubed
- 70 g fine sugar
- 10 g bourbon vanilla sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon coffee extract
- 25 g all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- Small pinch baking soda
- 50 g chopped walnuts
- 50 g dark chocolate chips or chunks (min 50% cocoa)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Mix flour with salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- Melt chopped dark chocolate over a double boiler. Add cubed butter and stir until melted and smooth.
- Add sugars and mix into a thick paste.
- Stir in egg and coffee extract until smooth and glossy.
- Gradually add flour mixture, stirring vigorously until dough feels elastic.
- Once cooled, fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use two spoons to form mounds (~1 tablespoon each) and drop onto tray. Dough is elastic and won’t spread much, just slightly under its weight.
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 12 minutes. Cookies will be very soft when removed; let cool on tray for at least 10 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
💡 Tips
- Use quality dark chocolate for intense flavor.
- Don’t overbake; cookies continue to firm as they cool.
- Coffee extract adds subtle depth—optional but recommended.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness.
