SPICY MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs; add cream of tartar and baking soda. Beat in cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and cayenne powder. Beat in flour. Stir chocolate chips into the dough.

SPICED CHOCOLATE WAFFLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cardamom, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, sugar, and stevia until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Stir in flour mixture just until combined. Cover batter and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat a Belgian waffle iron. Add spoonfuls of batter (about 2 1/2 tablespoons per cookie) to the waffle iron, spacing them evenly. Close the iron and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a rack to cool completely and repeat with remaining batter.
• For glaze, in a food processor, combine cream cheese, stevia, tapioca, and vanilla and process until smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed. With machine running, add cream to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
• Drizzle cookies with glaze before serving.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé COOKIES

Steps:

• Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment.
• Melt the chocolate and set aside. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. With the beaters running, gradually add the vanilla and sugar until the egg whites hold stiff peaks but don't look dry. Pour the nuts and melted chocolate over the whipped whites. Gently fold the mixture with a large rubber spatula, trying not to deflate the egg whites, until the color is just uniform. Immediately drop level measuring teaspoons of the batter onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between the cookies. Bake until the cookies are shiny and cracked, 10 to 12 min.; they should be firm on the outside but still gooey inside when you press them. Slide the parchment liners onto racks or use a metal spatula to transfer the cookies to racks and let cool completely. The cookies are best eaten on the day they're baked but will last two to three days if stored in a n airtight container.

SPICY CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé COOKIES

Steps:

• POSITION racks in upper and lower third of oven. Preheat to 350°F Lightly grease or paper-line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• MELT morsels in microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 45 seconds; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. Microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Set aside.
• COMBINE sugar, cinnamon and chili powder in small bowl. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in small mixer bowl on high speed until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Beating on high speed, gradually add sugar mixture and vanilla until whites are glossy and stiff peaks form. Gently fold in nuts and melted chocolate until mixture is just uniform. Spoon mixture into gallon-size food storage bag with with 1/2-inch snipped from corner of bag. Pipe mixture into 1 1/2-inch circles about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet.
• BAKE for 7 to 8 minutes or until cookies are shiny and cracked. They should be firm on the outside and gooey on the inside. Immediately remove cookies to wire rack or slide parchment to wire racks to cool completely. Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature. Cookies are best eaten the day they are baked but will last a day or two.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Brush 6 (6-ounce) ramekins with soft butter, then coat with sugar. Put the prepared ramekins in the freezer. (This can be done a day ahead.)
• Set an oven rack in lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.
• Combine the egg yolks and warm water in the bowl of a standing mixer or large bowl and beat until frothy. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar, and continue beating until ribbons form, about 5 minutes. Very lightly fold the yolks into the chocolate mixture. (Rinse the bowl well, if using for beating the egg whites.)
• Remove prepared ramekins from freezer. Put the egg whites in the bowl of a standing mixer, or large non-reactive bowl, add the lemon juice. Beat on medium until frothy; then gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and increase speed to high. Beat until the whites hold a stiff but not dry peak.
• Working quickly, fold about a third of the egg whites into the chocolate to lighten; then fold in remaining whites until blended. Gently ladle or spoon the souffle mixture into the ramekins, and place on a baking sheet. (Level off the surface with a straight edge, scraping any excess mixture back into the bowl.)
• Immediately bake until the souffle rises about 1 1/2 inches from the ramekins, and the tops are touched with brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

SPICY AND SAVORY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (AKA SIERRA NUGGETS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until smooth.
• Mix in milk, vanilla, and beaten eggs.
• One at a time, stir in the cornflakes, oats, dry ingredients (from medium bowl), coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using), just until each addition is incorporated.
• Drop dough by well rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.
• Bake 10-12 minutes, then let stand for 2 minutes before removing to let cool on baking racks.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Place an egg separator over a small bowl. Crack open 1 egg, letting the yolk fall into the center of the separator and the egg white slip through the slots into the bowl. Place yolk in another small bowl, then separate 2 more eggs. When separating fourth egg, place the yolk in another container; cover and refrigerate up to 4 days to use in another recipe. Set remaining 3 egg yolks aside.
• Place the 4 egg whites in a clean large bowl, and let stand at room temperature up to 30 minutes.*
• Meanwhile, coarsely chop the chocolate. In a 1-quart saucepan, stir the sugar and cornstarch until mixed. Gradually stir in the milk. Add the chocolate. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with an electric mixer on medium speed until very thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in the chocolate mixture. With a wooden spoon, stir in 2 tablespoons butter and the vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
• Heat the oven to 350°F. Spread 2 teaspoons butter on the bottom and side of a 6-cup soufflé dish, using a paper towel or piece of waxed paper. Sprinkle additional sugar over the butter. Make a 4-inch band of triple thickness of foil that is 2 inches longer than the circumference of the dish; butter one side of the band and sprinkle with sugar. Extend depth of dish by securing foil band, buttered side in, with masking tape around top outside edge of dish. (A buttered and sugared 2-quart casserole can be used instead of a soufflé dish and foil band.)
• Add the salt and cream of tartar to the egg whites; beat with an electric mixer on high speed just until egg whites form stiff peaks when beaters are lifted. Stir about 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Add remaining egg whites; to fold in, use a rubber spatula to gently cut down vertically through the mixture, then slide the spatula across the bottom of the bowl and up the side, turning mixture over. Rotate the bowl 1/4 turn, and repeat this down-across-up motion. Continue folding just until egg whites are blended into mixture. Carefully pour batter into the soufflé dish; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl, spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
• Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean. Do not be alarmed if cracks appear on the top because they are characteristic of this soufflé.
• Meanwhile, make Sweetened Whipped Cream. Serve soufflé immediately. Carefully remove foil band and divide soufflé into sections with 2 forks. Serve with whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé

Steps:

• In a saucepan, cook the butter and flour to form a sandy roux. In a separate pan, bring the milk and sugar to a boil, then add them to the roux. Cook until a smooth paste forms. Cool slightly, then whisk in the egg yolks. Add the melted chocolate and cocoa. Whip the egg whites to stiff, glossy peaks and immediately fold them into the base. Pour the mixture into buttered, sugared individual-size ramekins (about 1/2 inch from the top). Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar (or fresh whipped cream).

GIANT CHOCOLATE SOUFFLé RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack at the bottom of the oven, removing the other rack.
• Grease the ramekin with the softened butter and pour in ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar. Tilt the ramekin to coat with sugar evenly, then pour out the excess and set the ramekin aside.
• In a medium saucepan, scald the milk over medium heat. Just before boiling, remove the milk from the heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate until melted. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar, the flour, salt, and vanilla, until smooth.
• Add ½ cup (120 ml) of the chocolate milk mixture to the yolks and whisk until combined. This will temper the egg yolks so they don't curdle when added to the rest of the chocolate mixture.
• Return the pan with the remaining chocolate milk mixture back to the stove over medium heat and pour in the chocolate egg yolk mixture. Whisk constantly until thick.
• Remove the chocolate pastry cream from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. With an electric hand mixer, whip the egg whites until they turn opaque and leave trails. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Spoon about 1 cup (240 ml) of the whites into the chocolate pastry cream. Fold until no white streaks remain. Gently fold in the rest of the whites in 2 additions, being careful not to deflate the whites. Once no white streaks are visible, transfer the batter to the prepared ramekin and smooth out the top.
• Run your thumb between the outside edge of the dish and the batter to create a border.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), then immediately place the soufflé in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the soufflé has risen over the edge of the dish. Do not open the oven while baking.
• Dust the soufflé with powdered sugar and top with whipped cream.
• Enjoy!

A SPICE COOKIE TO SHARE

Steps:

• Whisk together the flours, coffee and spices; set aside.
• Working with a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), mix the pieces of cold butter, both sugars and the salt on low speed for about 3 minutes, until the mixture forms clumps and then comes together. You'll see pieces of butter here and there - you're supposed to. Add the dry ingredients all at once, and then pulse the mixer on and off, just until the risk of flying flour has passed. Mix on low-medium speed until you've got a bowl of crumbs, about 3 minutes. Lightly whisk the egg and honey together. With the mixer on low, add the egg mixture gradually, and then continue to mix until the dough forms clumps. Squeeze a bit of the dough, and it will hold together. Reach into the bowl, and press the dough into a ball. Turn it out onto a sheet of parchment paper.
• Press the dough down, cover it with another sheet of paper and roll it out until it's about 1/8-inch thick. It can be any shape - round, oval, rectangular, raggedy-edged or pristine. It will probably be about 12-by-15 inches, but the thickness is more important than the dimensions. Being neat doesn't buy you anything with this cookie. Slide the sandwiched dough onto a baking sheet, and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days). If you prefer, you can wrap the dough well and freeze it for up to 2 months; keep it at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking.
• When you're ready to bake, center a rack in the oven, and heat it to 350. Remove the top sheet of paper; leave the dough on the paper-lined baking sheet. If you're using the sanding sugar, sprinkle the dough with about 2 tablespoons' worth.
• Bake the cookie for 20 to 24 minutes - the edges will be darker than the middle. Press the center of the cookie, and it should be firm with just a tiny bit of give; it will feel firmer as you work your way out. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack, and allow the cookie to come to room temperature. If you're not eating it immediately, you can wrap the cookie well, and keep it at room temperature for about 4 days. Make sure the room is dry - humidity is a crisp cookie's nemesis.
• You can serve the cookie whole, letting everyone break off pieces (of course, there will be crumbs - they're part of the cookie's charm), or you can break or cut it in the kitchen and serve the pieces as you would any cookie. Chocolate or caramel sauce (or both) for dipping is optional, but scrumptious.

CHOCOLATE-CHIP SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter the inside of four one-and-one-half-cup individual souffle dishes with the melted butter. Sprinkle the inside of the dishes with a total of one tablespoon of sugar, shaking out excess. Chill.
• Bring the milk gently to a simmer and remove from the heat.
• Put the chocolate in a small, heavy saucepan. Set the pan in a slightly larger basin of boiling water and let stand until chocolate is melted.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, one-quarter cup of the sugar and the cornstarch. Beat thoroughly. Add a little of the hot milk to the yolk mixture and beat. Combine the yolk mixture with the remaining hot milk, beating constantly. Cook over gentle heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is quite thick.
• Scrape the melted chocolate into the custard and beat well to blend. Pour and scrape this into a mixing bowl.
• Beat the whites until thickened and add a little of the remaining sugar. Continue beating, gradually adding all of the remaining sugar until the whites stand in stiff peaks.
• Add about one-third of the whites to the chocolate mixture. Beat briskly until well blended. Add the remaining whites and the chocolate chips, and fold them in gently but rapidly with a spatula.
• Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into the four prepared dishes. Smooth over the tops of each souffle. Run the thumb all around the inside rim of each dish, at a depth of about one-half inch, to briefly separate the souffle mixture from the dish.
• Arrange the dishes on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
