Sqirl's Salted Chocolate Cookies
Salted Chocolate Cookies are decadent and rich, featuring a deep, chocolatey flavor from high-quality cocoa and Valrhona chocolate. These cookies are perfectly balanced with a sprinkle of fleur de sel, making them an indulgent treat with a luxurious twist.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ tsps baking soda
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 1 cup room-temperature unsalted butter
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup plus 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 9 oz Valrhona chocolate , roughly chopped, 70 to 85 percent cacao
- Fleur de sel , for garnish
WINE PAIRING
- Pinot Gris
Instructions
- COMBINE the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugars and vanilla until extremely fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms, then fold in the chocolate. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- PREHEAT the oven to 350º and line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Shape the cookie dough into 1¼-ounce (2-tablespoon) balls, then place them 2 inches apart onto the prepared sheet pans. Sprinkle each with a pinch of fleur de sel.
- BAKE, rotating halfway through, 11 minutes, then remove from the oven. While they’re still hot, use a 2¾-inch round cookie cutter to make the cookies perfectly round. Let completely cool, then serve.
