    Why you should make this recipe

    Every once in a while you come across an almost no-fail recipe and this chocolate fudge cookie recipe fits the bill! My husband said these are better than any bakery cookie he has tasted, and I so humbly agree. You can keep these simple ingredients on hand for those midnight cookie baking sessions.

    Ingredients

    Semi-sweet chocolate - I use a chocolate bar, but you could use chips instead.
    All-Purpose Flour -
    Unsalted Butter -
    many people only keep salted butter on hand and that's fine , just cut the added salt in half.
    Vanilla extract -
    Vanilla paste can be substituted.
    Sugars-
    A combination of brown and white sugar gives this cookie the perfect sweetness.
    Baking soda
    - The baking soda is the leavening agent, if you only have baking powder then double the amount used.
    Egg - Diving an egg can be tricky so I sometimes use liquid eggs in the carton.
    Salt - Use a fine kosher salt

    Recipe Directions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper

    In a small bowl break ½ of the chocolate bar into small chunks and set aside.

    In a microwave-safe bowl break up the remaining piece and microwave until just melted. Stir until the chocolate is smooth. Add in the butter and mix.

    Add the sugar, salt, and baking soda, until well mixed.

    Next, add the egg and stir until well blended

    Add the flour and mix well. The batter will be stiff.

    Stir in the vanilla and fold in the remaining chocolate pieces.

    Scoop 2 tablespoons per cookie on the cookie sheet.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

    Make 8 medium cookies, just enough for two people or one person with a really big sweet tooth.

    Recipe Notes

    • Make sure your oven is accurate, test with an oven thermometer.
    • Don't over bake the cookies, you want the cookies to be just a tad underbaked. Over baking will result in dry cookies.
    • Let the cookies cool down a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, so they don't break or lose shape.
    • For an evenly sized cookie use a small scoop like this small stainless steel scoop.

    Cooking scrumptious small batch recipes for one and sometimes for two are created in my small 1960’s kitchen. I learned to cook Shepherds Pie in England and Classic Marinara while living in Italy. Born in Southern California and raised in the Midwest, my cooking represents the best of both regions with an added touch of Southern hospitality.
