Chocolate sugar cookies have been kind of an obsession for a lot of years. Like at least 10. I think it started with recipe from Martha for giant chocolate sugar cookies. It spoke to me. And by “spoke to me,” I mean these suckers were in heavy rotation in my kitchen.
But despite the fact that I’ve been engaged in a decade of chocolate sugar cookie-making, it is only recently that I tried my hand at my own recipe for these chocolatey/sugary gems. I’ve developed other incarnations of the (chewy) chocolate cookie — the chocolate mint for Baked and the chocolate ginger for this here blog. But for straight up chocolate? This was a first.
And i’m not going to lie: the reason why this seemed like the perfect time to make these babies is that baking with a broken leg — which is what I have been attempting to master this past week (I call it “one-legged baking”) — is just all that much simpler if you’re making cookies, as opposed to croquembouche, for instance.
And so cookies it is peeps, and these are keepers. Uber chocolatey (from cocoa powder and chips – was tempted to boost the chocolate flavor even more, with some melted chocolate, but decided against it), chewy (from a bit of corn syrup and a yolk), moist and molasses-y (from the brown sugar) and crackly (from the granulated, plus raw, sugar coating). I’m hoping these will become your go-to when the chocolate craving hits, and am confident that whether making them while hobbling around your kitchen on one leg, or moving around effortlessly on two, these will satisfy that craving in spades.
