Kahlua Cookies With Chocolate Chunks Recipes

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until a creamy, deep brown mixture forms. Add egg and vanilla; beat until mixture lightens and becomes smooth, 10 to 15 seconds.
• Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add slowly to the wet ingredients until mostly incorporated, but some white traces of flour remain. Fold in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate using a spatula, not the mixer. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to bake.
• Divide cold dough into 2 1/4-ounce portions and place on a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges start to look golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake; the centers will not look fully done. Cool until cookies are set, about 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl , cream the vegetable shortening and the two sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
• Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Drop cookie by teaspoonfuls onto shiny lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes and transfer to wire racks to cool. Take out of oven when lightly colored - they will darken after being taken off cookie sheet.

SALTED CHOCOLATE CHUNK SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or an electric hand mixer, beat the butter, both sugars and vanilla on medium-high till it's super light and fluffy (3 to 5 minutes for a stand mixer; 6 to 8 for a hand mixer). Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and, with the mixer on low, slowly add the flour, followed by the chocolate chunks, and mix just to blend. If necessary, knead the dough with your hands to make sure the flour is totally incorporated. At this point, the dough should be smooth and feel like Play-Doh with no pockets of flour.
• Divide the dough in half, placing each half on a large piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over so that it covers the dough to protect your hands from getting all sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a log shape; rolling it on the counter will help you smooth it out, but don't worry about getting it totally perfect. (Don't be afraid to make them compact. Shortbread is supposed to be dense. That's part of why it's so good.) You can also do this using parchment paper, if you prefer, but plastic wrap is easier when it comes to shaping the log. Each half should form a 6-inch log, 2 to 2¼ inches in diameter. Chill until totally firm, about 2 hours.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush the outside of the logs with the beaten egg and roll them in the demerara sugar (this is for those really delicious, crisp edges).
• Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each log into ½-inch-thick rounds (if you hit a chocolate chunk, slowly saw back and forth through the chocolate). If the cookies break or fall apart, just press them back together - the dough is very forgiving. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart (they won't spread much). Sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake until the edges are just beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating them all.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK MAYO COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and both sugars with an electric hand mixer on medium speed (fit a stand mixer with the paddle attachment) until fluffy and pale brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the mayonnaise, vanilla and egg until fluffy and combined, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until mostly combined, then add all but 1/4 cup of the chopped chocolate. Stir by hand until completely combined and there is no dry flour visible.
• Place 5 dough scoops onto each prepared baking sheet using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, spacing them 2 to 3 inches apart. Divide the remaining chopped chocolate between the scoops, pressing a little into the top of each one (see Cook's Note).
• Bake until the cookies are browned and just set on top, but still very soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Cook's Note: When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
• This dough is great for freezing for up to 6 months. Freeze on the baking sheet until firm and then transfer to a resealable bag. Bake from frozen for 12 to 14 minutes.
