Dark Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

December 24, 2016 by The Partial Ingredients

If you are a chocolate lover and want a deep, dark chocolate flavor these are the cookies for you! I call these babies “chocolate chip cookies on steroids.” I’m normally not super into sweets but at this time of the year you gotta indulge a little bit. These cookies get the name “crinkle” from the confectioner’s sugar the dough is rolled in. It creates a pretty crinkle pattern once the cookies are baked. They are very easy to make and simple to throw together. These cookies have a brownie-like texture on the inside so they will come out of the oven very soft looking. They are seriously amazing with coffee. I added a touch of cinnamon to give it some extra flavor depth but this is optional. If you don’t want to bake the whole batch you can conveniently freeze the dough for up to three months in the freezer.

Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 17, 2014 by The Partial Ingredients

I love red velvet and when I came across a recipe for red velvet chocolate chip cookies I knew I had to give it a try! This recipe combines the best of red velvet cake and the classic chocolate chip cookie. It was very easy to throw together and the total time took about 90 minutes. Most of that time was used to chill the dough as it was too sticky to pop in the oven right away. The inside had an almost cake-like consistency–so soft and pillowy! I will definitely be making these again.

Chocolate Espresso Cookies

March 10, 2013 by The Partial Ingredients

Chocolate and espresso is a subtle combination. In many recipes a little espresso or coffee is added to enhance the chocolate flavor. The espresso compliments the chocolate and these cookies play on that idea very nicely. The batter is made with cocoa and espresso powders along with melted chocolate. Solid chocolate chips are mixed into the batter so any cravings you might have had for chocolate will probably be satisfied. After the cookies are baked the outside forms a glossy layer that cracks apart. The inside isn’t really like a normal cookie’s but rather like the inside of a brownie. I was really happy with how these turned out and next time I have a chocolate craving I know which recipe to turn to!

Cherry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

March 3, 2013 by The Partial Ingredients

Oatmeal raisin cookies got a bad rep when I was a kid. They weren’t very sweet, had a dry crumbly texture and just couldn’t stand up to classic chocolate chip cookies. These cookies give chocolate chip a run for it’s money. The cherries and chocolate go so well together and the texture was soft and not too crumbly. The cherries really take this cookie to the next level because they added a little bit of tartness to balance the sweet. I will definitely be making these again! The recipe makes 5 1/2 dozen so I cut the recipe in half. If you wanted to make the larger amount, just double the measurements below.

Salted Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Cookies

December 19, 2012 by The Partial Ingredients

As far as decadent Holiday cookies go this recipe ranks pretty far up there in the decadence and the deliciousness! I am a big fan of salted caramel and combining it inside of a cookie sounded too good to be true. The cookie’s name makes it sound more complicated than it is and the recipe is really simple and doesn’t take long to throw together. These cookies remind me a little of chocolate lava cake especially when eaten soon after they’re taken out of the oven. The gooey caramel oozes out of the center and mixes with the outer chocolate cookie layer. The cookie just looks festive and almost snow covered from the powdered sugar on top.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 17, 2012 by The Partial Ingredients

One of my favorite combinations is mint and chocolate. For St. Patrick’s Day, I decided to make some green chocolate chip cookies and to give the recipe a little kick I added mint extract to the batter. The chocolate and the mint were great together and it was even tastier dipping the cookies into milk. For whatever reason dipping the cookies in milk caused the mint flavor to be more pronounced. This was an easy and tasty recipe for St. Patty’s day!

Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

January 1, 2012 by The Partial Ingredients

Cherries and chocolate are a perfect food combination. The tanginess and sweetness of the cherries combined with dark chocolate is one of my favorite desserts. I had never tried making a cherry and chocolate cookie before and when I came across a recipe for this cookie I knew I had to try it. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but the chips can easily be substituted for chocolate chunks from a good chocolate bar. The recipe begins as a standard chocolate chip cookie recipe which is very easy to throw together. The steps that deviate from that recipe comes from adding the cocoa powder and the dried cherries. I like chocolate chip cookies to be crispy on the outside and chewy/soft on the inside and these were pretty much the perfect texture in every way. The tangy cherries and chocolate were perfectly balanced. I’m sure you could exchange the dried cherries for some other dried fruit that pairs well with chocolate so I can’t wait to play around more with this recipe!

Pomegranate and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 16, 2011 by The Partial Ingredients

I was excited to try this recipe because I had never tried baking with pomegranates before. Pomegranates are so tasty on their own but it was even better with butter, sugar, and chocolate. The pomegranate arils were a nice pop of color in the white cookie, and the flavor of the pomegranate could still be tasted when the arils burst in your mouth. My cookies were a little bit crumbly and soft so next time I will chill the dough before baking. This recipe will be great for the upcoming holidays and I could see this becoming a regular, annual cookie recipe!

Mint Chocolate Meringue Cookies

December 23, 2010 by The Partial Ingredients

These cookies require this weird baking process where they cook overnight in an oven that has been turned off. I’m not sure why this is but it works since the cookies turned out really well. The insides are a little gooey with a nice, light texture. They look so pretty on a plate too!
