Tuesdays with Dorie: Chocolate Chunkers

Chocolate Chunkers 001This week’s recipe on page 70 from Baking: From My Home to Yours*: Chocolate Chunkers has been chosen by Claudia from Fool for Food 20.09.2023 **.

To keep the entry short: These are my cookies. Together with a glass of milk they are a complete meal. I followed Dories advice and shopped chocolate by hand, but I am of different opinion about the chocoloate. Excellent – and also expensive – chocolate I prefer to enjoy pure in small quantities.

I used chocolate with 75 % cocoa solids instead of unsweetened chocolate, for the bittersweet I used chocolate with 50 % cocoa solids and for the semisweet I used chocolate with 35 % cocoa solids. I substituted the raisins with dried apricots.

I’ll definitely make these Chocolate Chunkers again!

BTW: Today my husband and I celebrate 25 years “War and Peace“, I am in a hurry!

“These fabulous – I mean truly fabulous – cookies are based on the ones I made when I worked at the long-gone Soho Charcuerie, the cookies were called Chocolate Gobs, and at Sarabeth’s were they continue to be best sellers, they’re called Chocolate Chubs. Both of those versions, as well as these, are grandchildren of Maida Heatter’s great Mulattoes. They’re big, gooey, exceedingly chocolaty. […] Despite their heft, they’re serially snackable. You’ll never eat just one at a sitting.”

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Flour
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Baking powder

  • 180 grams Bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (Claudia: 70% solids)
  • 30 grams Milk chocolate (Claudia: normal milk chocolate)

  • 1 Teel. Vanilla extract
  • 180 grams Semisweet chocolate, chopped ((Claudia: 70% solids)

Instructions

  1. Centre rack in the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon mats. Sift together flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Melt butter with unsweetened and bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or use a microwave. Be careful with chocolate in the microwave as it may get too hot. The chocolate butter mixture should be smooth and shiny. Set on counter to cool.
  2. Beat eggs and sugar on medium high speed until mixture is pale and foamy. Reduce speed, add vanilla. Then add melted chocolate-butte-rmix, mix only until incorporated. Add dry ingredients. Do not over mix. Dough will be thick and shiny.
  3. Add semisweet and white chocolate chunks, nuts and raisins. Drop dough by tablespoons, leave an inch between dough. Bake for 12-15 mins. This is a soft and chewy cookie.

Claudia: It?s not a problem to half the recipe. You can use chocolate chips but as Dorie suggest I think it?s nicer to have chocolate chunks chopped by hand. You normally get a better quality with regular chocolate than with chocolate chips. Cookies will look more rustic as well if you use chocolate chopped by hand.

    I agree about savoring good chocolate in small amounts, I think this would have been too much for me. I do really like the idea of apricot, though. Have a happy day with the husband!

    I agree Ulrike, too much of a good thing is just as bad as… not enough.
    I thought the chunkers were way too rich and too expensive to make for everyday treats… perhaps better for Holidays or presents.
    Anyways… yours still look delish!

    Gern geschehen, ich rechne jedes Rezept in Gramm um, auch wenn da so krumme Zahlen ‘rauskommen. Aber mit 45 g Butter und 110 g Pecannüüsen wird es auch gehen, bei dem Kakaopulver bin ich da nicht so sicher ;-)
