Decadent Chocolate Truffle Cookie. It just makes your mouth water reading it, I bet. Bias Winery, outside Hermann Missouri did a wonderful job with their chocolate dessert this year. Their Chocolate Truffle Cookie was paired with Raspberry Weisser Flieder. Luckily, visitors were given two cookies. Each one was the perfect cookie consistency and very enjoyable with the wine pairing. If the Chocolate Truffle Cookie was a favorite of yours on the Chocolate Wine Trail, let us know in the comments.
Decadent Chocolate Truffle Cookies
- 4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
In the microwave, melt unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup of the chocolate chips, and the butter stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whip eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and the chocolate mixture until well mixed. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into the chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips. Cover dough and chill for at least an hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing. (Pair with a chilled bottle of Raspberry Weisser Flieder)
