Chocolate Brownie Cookies With White Chocolate and Roasted Walnut

Sedang hati berdebar-debar waiting for what will happen tomorrow 050513 and the day after, sempat juga menenangkan hati ni buat cookie. Bukan apa, we hope for the best, no matter who win tapi kena jalankan tanggungjawab seperti yang dah dijanjikan. Jangan janji tinggal janji saja.

Enough said. We talk about this cookie. I saw it from the book i bought in Kinokuniya KLCC. It's from Joy Wilson or she is best known as Joy The Baker from her famous blog. I found this recipe also from this blog call Eats well with others.Actually she used macadamia nut but i don't have it in hand so i replaced it with walnut.Well, the next time i bake this cookie i will use macadamia nut and roast it first.

Here is the recipe

Chocolate Brownie Cookies with White Chocolate and Roasted Macadamia Nuts
Makes 2 dozen cookies, adapted from The Joy the Baker Cookbook

Ingredients

• 8 oz bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks ( i used Valrhona)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup AP flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp instant espresso
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup macadamia nuts, roasted and salted

Instructions

1. Place racks in the upper third and middle of the oven and preheat oven to 325.  Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Gently simmer 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan.  Place bittersweet chocolate and butter in a medium-sized heatproof bowl and place the bowl over, not touching, the simmering water, creating a double boiler.  Melt the chocolate and butter together until butter is melted.  Remove from the simmering water and stir until chocolate is completely melted.  Allow the chocolate to cool.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.  Set aside.
4. Whisk the granulated sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract into the warm chocolate mixture.  Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.  Add the chocolate mixture, all at once, to the flour mixture.  Fold to incorporate.  When flour just begins to disappear into the chocolate mixture, add the white chocolate and macadamia nuts.  Fold thoroughly.  Batter will be THICK.
5. Dollop batter by the tablespoonful (or use a medium cookie scoop) onto prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 11 minutes (the cookies are best slightly undercooked).  Let rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack.

If you want you can use Sicao barry or other brands of chocolate but i prefer either Sicao Barry or if i have Valrhona, i will use it, a bit pricey lah in KL but for family why not? The taste....Voila!!! Sedapppp....very chocolatey! Tambah2 guna Valrhona sedap banget! Cubalah!
