DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat the butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar and salt and continue to beat on medium speed until pale and creamy, 2 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla and egg; mix on low to incorporate. Add the flour, beating on low speed until just incorporated (a few streaks is fine). Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in the chocolate chips.
• Turn out the dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Generously dust the dough and work surface with flour. Roll out the dough to a 1/3-inch thickness; if the dough cracks around the edges, simply press it back together. Use cookie cutters to cut out the desired shapes. Place the cookies, 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake until just beginning to brown around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
• Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

DOUBLETREE SIGNATURE COOKIE

Steps:

• Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
• Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
• With mixer on low speed, add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don't overmix.
• Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
• Portion dough with a scoop (about 3 tablespoons) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2 inches apart.
• Preheat oven to 300˚ F. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
• Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for about 1 hour.

CHEWY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together the butter, sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla.
• Blend in the cocoa and add baking soda, salt and blend well.
• Add the flour into the creamed mixture and fold in the chocolate chips.
• Bake at 350° for 8-9 minutes.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until smooth, remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
• in a bowl, beat the soft butter with both sugars with a wooden spoon for about 1 minute until smooth and combined but not fluffy (alternatively use an electric whisk). Gradually add the beaten eggs, mixing well between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix again.
• Pour the melted chocolate into the mixture and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Sift in the flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt. Mix again until thoroughly combined. Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
• Fold three-quarters of the white chocolate into the cookie mixture. Using two dessertspoons, shape the mixture into 20-22 roughly-shaped but evenly-sized balls (each roughly 55g/2oz) and place on a lined baking tray. Press the remaining white chocolate into the cookie dough balls. Cover and chill for 1 hour until firm, then roll each cookie ball in your hands until you have a smooth, firm ball. Cover and chill again for 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3.
• Place 6-8 dough balls on each baking tray allowing plenty of space between each one as the cookies will spread during cooking. Bake for 12 minutes and then remove from the oven.
• Now you have two choices - either bang the bottom of the tray on the work surface to deflate the cookies or take a 10cm/4in cutter and place a cookie inside the cutter, still on the baking tray, and swirl it round and round to make an even, neat round cookie.
• Repeat with all the cookies. Return the cookies to the oven for a further 2-4 minutes until firm but not crisp (cooking for a further 2 minutes will result in a softer cookie and after 4 minutes they will be crisper - whichever is your preference).
• The cookies are soft after baking but will firm up further on cooling. Continue baking the cookies in batches. Leave to cool on the baking trays until firm and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight boxes in between layers of baking paper.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll tablespoonfuls of cookie dough into balls and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE RYE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Place the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 8 to 10 minutes, until they start to smell fragrant and are lightly golden brown when you break one in half. Remove them from the oven and let cool. Roughly chop them and set aside.
• Chop 5 ounces of the bittersweet chocolate and 4 ounces of the unsweetened chocolate into large chunks and place them with the butter in a metal or heatproof glass bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and heat, stirring occasionally, until completely smooth. Remove from the heat, whisk in the vanilla, and let cool for about 20 minutes so it's not piping hot.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk together the sugar and eggs for about 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until light and thick and pale yellow. With the mixer on low, slowly add the chocolate-butter mixture and whisk for about 15 seconds. It will not be completely mixed at this point but that's okay, because you will finish combining all the ingredients by hand.
• Chop the remaining 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate into 1-inch chunks and shave the remaining 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate into fine shavings. In a medium bowl, stir together the rye flour, the chopped bittersweet chocolate, shaved unsweetened chocolate, baking powder, salt, and toasted walnuts. Remove the bowl from the mixer, add the rye flour mixture, and fold it in by hand until the dough is completely homogeneous.
• For best results, scrape the dough into an airtight container and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours or up to overnight before baking. (The unbaked dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop the dough in ¼-cup scoops onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway through the baking time, until the cookies are just starting to crack on the edges and the centers are soft but not liquidy when you press them.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer them to the rack and let cool completely.
• The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Whisk together the flour, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Place a heatproof medium bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water; don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl. Drop in the chunks of butter and scatter over the chocolate. Heat, stirring now and then, until the butter and chocolate are melted, but not so hot that they separate, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the saucepan and whisk in the sugar. (Don't be alarmed when the mixture turns grainy.) One by one, add the cold eggs, whisking vigorously until the mixture is thick and smooth, and the whisk leaves tracks. Beat in the vanilla, then switch to a spatula and add the flour in 3 additions, stirring gently between each addition, until the flour disappears into the dough. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 days.
• When you're ready to bake, center a rack in the oven and heat it to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Put the sanding or granulated sugar in a small bowl and, if you've got one, have a cork from a wine bottle at hand.
• Using a small cookie scoop or measuring spoon, scoop mounds of dough, each a scant tablespoon. Roll the dough into balls and then roll the balls in the sugar to coat. Place the balls on the baking sheets, giving them 1½ inches or so of space to spread. Press the cork into the center of each cookie or use your thumb to make an indentation.
• Bake 1 sheet for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies feel firmish. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack. The indentations will have puffed in the oven, so you'll want to press them down again. Repeat with the second sheet. Let cookies cool completely.
• Fill the prints: Melt milk, dark or ruby chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. If using white chocolate, add oil before melting and stir until smooth. While the chocolate is still warm and fluid, use a small spoon to fill each indentation to the brim, letting the chocolate fall from the end of the spoon. Slide the cookies into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. The cookies will keep for about 5 days in a covered container at room temperature.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until very light, about 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Add the chocolate discs and mix briefly to combine. Press plastic wrap against the dough and chill it for at least 24 hours and up to 36.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion the dough out into balls slightly larger than golf balls, about 3 1/2 ounces each, and transfer five balls to the baking sheet. (They will spread significantly.) Bake the cookies until set, being careful to remove cookies from the oven when still soft in the center, about 18 minutes. Transfer the parchment with the cookies to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough, baking a second batch of four or five cookies. Serve warm.
