How to Find a Great Chocolate Dessert Recipe
I know I am a chocolate freak and I think there is truly nothing better than enjoying ahome-made dessert. But the best part is there are
so many recipes to choose from that it's just so easy to be a chocolate dessert freak! So, I'm going to share one of my real favorite
recipes. It is called the double chocolate chunk cookie recipe, and for this you will need: 2 cups all-purpose flour; ¾ cup Nestle Toll
House baking cocoa; 1 tsp baking soda; ½ tsp salt; 1 cup butter or margarine, softened; 2/3 cup granulated sugar; 2/3 cup packed
brown sugar; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 2 large eggs; and 1 ¾ cups Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
First you need to preheat the oven to 350°F, it is important that the oven has reached baking temperature, and then combine the flour,
cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl, and beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixer
bowl until it is perfectly creamy. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; gradually beat in the flour mixture, stir
in chunks, then drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
Now let them bake away for about 9-11 minutes. You will see the cookies puffing up and the centers will still be soft. Check by inserting
a skewer or strand of raw spaghetti. Then allow them to cool on baking sheets for a couple of minutes after you take them out of the
oven, and remove to wire racks so that they can cool completely.
Option One
Arrange two cookies in a small desert bowl. Pile whipped cream between the cookies then crumble two small meringues over the top.
Dress up with fresh raspberries and top with a small amount of extra whipped cream.
Option Two
Place a layer of fresh strawberries on bottom of serving bowl. Carefully slice one cookie lengthways and place one half on top of
strawberries. Add layer of whipped or thickened cream that has been flavored with orange liqueur. Place other half of cookie on top. Add
more fresh cream and garnish with a few strawberries.
