Reach
for this cookie when that next chocolate craving hits. This rich and
buttery tasting cookie
is adapted from a recipe in Regan Daley's 'In the Sweet Kitchen' and combines the
subtle flavor of Dutch-processed cocoa powder with sweet white chocolate
chips. While perfect with a tall glass of cold milk, its soft texture also makes it the
perfect cookie for homemade ice cream sandwiches.
This
dough freezes beautifully so you can enjoy freshly baked cookies on demand. Shape the dough into 1 inch (2.54 cm) balls, place on a parchment lined
baking sheet and put in the freezer until the cookies are frozen. Remove the
baking sheet from the freezer, place the frozen cookie balls in a freezer bag,
and return to the freezer. When you want these cookies, simply place the cookie
balls on a parchment lined baking sheet, preheat the oven, and then bake as
directed.If you are not familiar with Dutch-Processed or Alkalized Unsweetened
Cocoa Powder it is cocoa that has been treated with an alkali to neutralize its acids. Because it
is neutral and does not react with baking soda, it must be used in recipes
calling for baking powder, unless there are other acidic ingredients in
sufficient quantities used. It has a reddish-brown color, mild flavor, and is
easy to dissolve in liquids. Its delicate flavor makes it ideal in baked goods
like European cakes and pastries where its subtle flavor complements other
ingredients. Droste, Lindt, Valrhona, Poulain and Pernigotti are some
popular brands
