Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dark Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature (2 1/2 sticks)
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Demerera or sanding sugar

Steps:

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla on medium speed until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, combining on low speed until fully incorporated.
Smooth the dough into a large disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
Roll dough into 1.5-inch balls and then roll them in demerera or sanding sugar. Place them on the baking sheets about 1.5 inches apart.
Bake for about 8 minutes. Cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks. Once cool, seal them up in an airtight container with a paper towel to keep the cookies soft.

DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These are the ultimate chocolate cookies. Yes, it's a bold claim, but with dark chocolate mixed in at three different steps-we'll stand behind it. First, bittersweet chocolate chips (60 percent cacao-the real plant from which chocolate is made) get melted into the butter. Then a flour mixture featuring Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa powder-100 percent cacao-gets added. Finally, another 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips get stirred into the dough before baking, so every bite you take is bursting with melt-in-your-mouth bittersweet bursts. To keep all that deep, rich flavor balanced, cookies get rolled in granulated sugar before baking for a little extra sweetness and sparkle! Serve cookies with a tall glass of cold milk, and if that's not enough to satisfy your chocolate craving, nothing will be!

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups 60% cacao bittersweet dark chocolate chips (from two 10-oz bags)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup of the sugar. Pour into large bowl. Beat in eggs with spoon one at a time until blended. Beat in vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Shape dough into 50 (1 1/4 -inch) balls. Lightly butter hands if dough is sticky when shaping into balls. In small bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Roll balls in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets; flatten slightly. Discard sugar after rolling balls.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 20 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.
