The Party Spread

On Saturday night we had our first successful party! For our housewarming, we made Double Chocolate Cookies and Blondies (we also made artichoke dip and had some other non-baked goods, but I won't talk about those here). The cookies were like a chocolate explosion in your mouth - soft and chewy, just as a chocolatey cookie should be! The blondies were delicious as well - we added chocolate chips, walnuts, and coconut. 

Double Chocolate Cookies

Recipe:

50 g butter
450 g good quality dark chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dove's farm gluten free plain white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 170 C. Melt the butter and half the chocolate together on the stove until smooth (to avoid burning, you could also set a heatproof bowl over a small pot of simmering water to melt it). In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract.  Gradually add the flour, salt and baking powder. Pour in the butter/chocolate mixture. Lastly, add the rest of the chocolate and stir to combine. Place on lined baking sheets in heaping teaspoonfuls. Bake for 10-15 mins until the tops of the cookies are cracked. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before trying to move them. Enjoy!
