I made Fudge Ecstasies...a very chocolaty cookie. I found the recipe in a Christmas cookie magazine.
I also searched online for a recipe that would go with a mold(I have a rocking horse mold) I found an orange spice cookie recipe that is supposed to keep the shape of the mold. Some cookie recipes would puff up the cookies while baking and this recipe didn't have baking soda or powder so the cookie kept pretty flat.
Fudge Ecstasies:
12 oz semi sweet chocolate pieces
2 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped
2 Tbsp butter
2 eggs
2/3 C sugar
1/4 C all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 C chopped cashews, pecans or almonds (I used almonds)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a cookie sheet(I didn't do this and should have..I thought my cookie sheet was stick-proof-enough).
Heat in a saucepan 2 Cup of the semi-sweet chocolate and all of the unsweetened chocolate and butter.
Stir over low until melted. Remove from heat
Add eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, baking powder. Beat w/ a wooden spoon until combined(I put everything into my mixer). Stir in the rest of the chocolate and the nuts.
Drop by rounded teaspoons 2-inches apart onto the cookie sheets. (I used my new scoop from my sisters Pampered Chef party).
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are firm and surfaces are dull and crackled.
Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 min. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. makes 3 dozen(except I only got 2 dozen because I used the 2Tbsp scoop)
These cookies were soooo chocolaty..It was almost like eating a piece of chocolate. -Have to have milk and will only be able to eat 1, maybe 2 at a time.
