Thursday, January 21st, 2010

If there is one thing our guests enjoy here at the inn, it is healthy doses of chocolate. If you consider yourself a true blue chocoholic, then these cookies are for you. Of course, if you don’t feel like whipping up a batch of them yourself, you’re always welcome to visit us at the inn & we’ll bake ‘em up for you!

                                        Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies

2 cups all purpose flour                                                  

1 tsp. baking soda                               

1/4 cup  dutch process cocoa                

1/2 tsp salt                                  

1 cup butter, softened                       

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tsp. pure vanilla

2 large eggs

1 cup dark chocolate chunks

1 cup good quality white chocolate chunks

  • Before you start mixin’ stuff up, preheat your oven to 375 degrees farenheit.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, cocoa, salt & baking soda), set aside.
  • In a seperate mixing bow, beat  the softened butter & sugars at medium speed until creamy.
  • To this mixture, you’ll be adding the eggs, one at a time, mixing on a lower speed until they are well incorporated.
  •  Grab your bowl of the dry ingredients mixture, gradually blending into your creamy mixture.
  • Next, you’ll be stirring in the bittersweet & white chocolate chunks. If you like you could always throw in some walnuts or pecans, to your liking.
  • Now you’ll need a cookie sheet lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper. ( if not using either of these, make sure cookie sheet is ungreased) Using a tablespoon, drop  cookie dough onto cookie sheet, spacing evenly.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or to your desired liking.
  • Finally, sit back & enjoy with an espresso or ice cold milk!
