Chocolate-Chocolate Cookies Recipe

An ode to my favorite baked good of all time, the fudgy brownie,
this cookie has a healthy salt content and, to me, is perfection. I freeze a few
of these in the dense heat of a New York summer for my lunch or afternoon snack.

INGREDIENTS
For the 
chocolate crumb:


  • 1/3
      cup flour

  • 1/2
      teaspoon cornstarch

  • 1/4
      cup sugar

  • 1/3
      cup cocoa powder, preferably Valrhona

  • 1/2
      teaspoon kosher salt

  • 3
      tablespoons butter, melted

For the 
cookie:

  • 16
      tablespoons butter, room temperature

  • 1 1/2
      cups sugar

  • 1/4
      cup glucose*

  • 1
      egg

  • 1/4
      teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2
      ounces 55-percent chocolate, melted

  • 1 1/4
      cups flour

  • 3/4
      cup cocoa powder, preferably Valrhona

  • 3/4
      teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4
      teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 3/4
      teaspoons kosher salt


DIRECTIONS
For the 
chocolate crumb
:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.


Combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt 
in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and paddle on low
  speed until mixed.


Add the butter and paddle on low speed until the mixture 
starts to come together in small clusters.


Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat. Spread the
  clusters on the pan, and bake for 20 minutes, breaking them up occasionally.
The  crumbs should still be slightly moist to the touch at that point; they will
dry  and harden as they cool.


Let the crumbs cool completely before using in a recipe or 
eating. Stored in an airtight container, they will keep fresh for 1 week at room
  temperature or 1 month in the refrigerator or freezer.





For the 
cookie:


Combine the butter, sugar, and glucose in the bowl of a stand
  mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream together on medium-high for 
2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the egg, vanilla, and melted
  chocolate, and beat for 7-8 minutes.


Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour, cocoa 
powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until the dough comes 
together, no longer than 1 minute. (Do not walk away from the machine during 
this step, or you will risk overmixing the dough.) Scrape down the sides of the 
bowl with a spatula. Still on low speed, add the chocolate crumbs and mix just 
until incorporated, about 30 seconds.


Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Using a 2 ¾-ounce ice 
cream scoop (or a 1/3-cup measure), portion out the dough onto the pan. Pat the 
tops of the cookie dough domes flat. Wrap the sheet pan tightly in plastic wrap 
and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 week. Do not bake your cookies 
from room temperature — they will not bake properly.


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with 
parchment paper or a Silpat.


Arrange the chilled dough a minimum of 4 inches apart on the 
sheet pans. Bake for 18 minutes. The cookies will puff, crackle, and spread. 
It's tough (kind of impossible) to gauge if a cookie that is this dark with 
chocolate is done. If after 18 minutes, the cookies still seem doughy in the 
center, give them another minute in the oven, but not more.


Cool the cookies completely on the sheet pans before 
transferring to a plate or an airtight container for storage. At room 
temperature, the cookies will keep fresh for 5 days; in the freezer, they will 
keep for 1 month.
