Very Small Batch Chocolate Chubbies
Servings 6 Cookies
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons all purpose flour (12 grams)
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips divided use
- ½ oz unsweetened chocolate I used a ½ oz square of Hershey's
- 2 tablespoons butter (28 grams)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed (65 grams)
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-2 tablespoons toasted walnuts optional
- Some white chocolate chunks optional
- Some dried cherries optional
Instructions
- In a small cup, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Place ½ cup of the chocolate chips, the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a medium sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 ½ minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. Let cool for about 3 minutes.
- In a second bowl, beat together brown sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Beat egg mixture into slightly warm chocolate mixture. Stir in flour mixture. Stir in remaining chocolate chips (make sure the batter is cool so they don't melt!) and optional ingredients if using. At this point, dough will not be scoopable. Place bowl in refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. This is mandatory
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Drop dough by (generously) rounded tablespoons onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until set - cookies should still look a little uncooked. Let cool completely.
- Makes 6-8
Notes
If you don't have unsweetened chocolate you can substitute 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and ½ tablespoon canola oil. Just stir oil and cocoa in with melted chocolate chips and butter.
