The ingredients for the Chocolate Truffle Cookie includes:
As you begin to make these chocolate cookies, it is important that you chop the unsweetened chocolate into small bits. Using a butter knife, cut the butter into small pieces and melt in the double boiler, add one cup of chocolate chips and stir. Once this mixture is thoroughly melted and well blended, allow it to cool. Set this aside.
The next step involved mixing the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt into a medium sized bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer for approximately two minutes. Slowly add the vanilla, and then stir in the melted chocolate mixture. Slowly begin to add the flour mixture, small portions at a time, insuring that everything is well combined. When all the flour has been added and the mixture is fully blended, add the remaining cup of chocolate chips.
Cover and chill this dough until firm.
Prior to removing the dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Shape the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in a 350-degree oven until puffed, approximately ten minutes.
