Double Chocolate Chip CookiesDouble Chocolate Chip Cookies

Eigentlich, eigentlich bin ich kein Fan von diesen Vollschokoladenkeksen. Aber dieses Rezept hat mich einfach angemacht und seitdem habe ich diese Double Chocolate Chip Cookies schon so oft nachgebacken, dass es Zeit wird, dass ich es mit Euch teile!

Die Kekse haben genau die richtige Konsistenz: außen knusprig innen noch etwas weich. Sie sind vollschokoladig ohne zu schwer zu sein. und enthalten doppelt Schokolade durch Kakaopulver (ich nehme ich das faire und bio) und Schokostücke. Ich habe da schon diverse Kombinationen ausprobiert und mir schmeckt am meisten reine Zartbitter, Vollmilch passt hier nicht, auch eine Kombination aus beidem hat mir nicht gefallen. Aber das ist am Ende natürlich Euch überlassen!

Einen besonderen Kick bekommen diese Schokokekse (und ich glaube dadurch sind sie auch verträglicher) durch 1 TL Fleur de Sel im Teig. Das balanciert die Kekse geschmacklich richtig schön aus und Schoko und Salz passen einfach perfekt zusammen (sowie Karamell und Salz eine Traumkombi sind!).

Meine Standard Cookie-Rezept, wenn ich Lust auf Schokolade und Kekse habe. Ansonsten immer wieder gerne den Klassiker: Chocolate Chip Cookies (die besten!).

Normally I don’t like that full chocolate cookies. But this recipe just intrigued me and since then I made these double chocolate chip cookies a lot! So it’s really time that I share them with you!

These cookies are just right: crisp from the outside, slightly soft inside. They are full of chocolate, but they are not on the heavy side, although they are doubled in chocolate with cocoa powder (i use the fair and organic) and chocolate chips. I already tried some combinations, but I like pure dark chocolate the most. Whole milk and also the combination of both isn’t right for me here. But in the end that’s up to you!

The cookies get a special kick by adding 1 teaspoon fleur de sel (and I also think that is what’s making them lighter and more digestible). The salt brings balance. I think chocolate and salt are just going perfectly well together (as well as caramel and salt).

This is my to-go-recipe if I’m craving chocolate and cookies. Apart from that this classic always works: chocolate chip cookies (the best!).

Chocolate Chip Cookies mit Pistazien, dunkler Schokolade und RauchsalzPistachio and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies with Smoked Sea Salt

Es gab hier schon lange keine süßen Sachen mehr und vor allem keine Kekse. Das muss sich umgehend ändern! Wir steuern zwar schon auf die Plätzchenzeit zu (und die werde ich hier auch voll ausleben), davor aber ein Keksrezept, dass das ganze Jahr über geht.

Das sind auch nicht irgendwelche Kekse, es ist die Luxusversion der berühmten Chocolate Chip Cookies! Die Idee habe ich von Joy the Baker, das Rezept natürlich von Smitten Kitchen und dann habe ich noch ein bisschen dran rumgedreht, so dass es meinem europäischem Gaumen mundet.

Amerikanische Zuckerangaben sind meistens einfach viel zu hoch für meinen Geschmack. Da kann einfach was nicht stimmen, wenn die Menge an Zucker höher ist, als die Menge an Mehl!

Chocolate Chip Cookies mit Pistazien, dunkler Schokolade und Rauchsalz

Bei Rauchsalz denkt ihr jetzt sicher „von was für komischen Zeug redet die da eigentlich schon wieder?“. Ich hab das vor ein paar Monaten beim Gewürzhändler gesehen und natürlich mitgenommen. Rauchiges Aroma ist nie verkehrt! Und ja, es ist der Hammer! Es passt überraschenderweise gut zu den Keksen, stelle es mir aber auch bei anderen Gerichten toll vor. Gerade vegetarische Gerichte profitieren davon. Wer das nicht hat, kann aber auch einfach Fleur de Sel nehmen, normales Salz würde den Keks versalzen.

Falls Euch dieses Rezept aber zu extravagant ist, könnt Ihr einfach auf mein Standard Chocolate Chip Cookie Rezept zurückgreifen. Das Rezept ist vielfach erprobt und ich kann mir jedesmal von Neuem den Bauch damit vollschlagen. Mmmh, wenn ich nur dran denke…

Chocolate Chip Cookies mit Pistazien, dunkler Schokolade und Rauchsalz

Vor einem Jahr: Orangen-Rotkohl mit Gorgonzola

Vor zwei Jahren: Flan Tarte

We hadn’t sweet dishes here for a while now, not to mention cookies. That has to change immediately! We are going straight to cookie season, that’s a fact (and I will give you some recipes then, indeed), but this is a recipe, which you can make throughout the year.

These cookies aren’t just cookies, these are the luxury version of the famous chocolate chip cookies! The idea is from Joy the Baker, the recipe – of course – from Smitten Kitchen.

I adapted the recipe to my European taste. American sugar amounts are just to high for my taste, almost every time. There has to be something wrong, when the amount of sugar is higher, than the amount of flour!

Pistachio and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies with Smoked Sea Salt

Reading of smoked sea salt you might think „what the heck is she talking about again?“. A few months ago I saw it at my spice store and of course I bought it. There can’t be anything wrong with the flavour of smoke. And yes, it is terrific! It goes surprisingly well with the cookies, but I imagine it also goes well with other dishes, especially vegetarian ones. If you don’t have smoked sea salt, use fleur de sel, table salt is just too salty.

If you find this recipe too flamboyant, you can simply draw on my standard recipe for chocolate chip cookies. It’s frequently approved and I could fill my belly with these every time I make them. Yum, I should stop thinking about it…

These days it’s all about making research, testing recipes, baking and cooking. The reason is that some events are coming up. First event will be my blog anniversary next week. There will be a big surprise, where not just baking is involved! The second event will be the Daring Bakers in August. And the most important event will be a wedding in October. It’s not just important, because it’s a family wedding, but also because I’ll be baking the wedding cake!

Friday bride and groom will be testing the cakes. I’ll be preparing two different cakes with different fillings and I want to try to make another one gluten-free. All that’s a real challenge. But I’m glad, that I finally created some recipes, that appear good to me. So tomorrow is baking and whisking day! I’m really looking forward to the next two days. So wish me luck.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies ever!

In between one just needs some cookies. We really longed for some cookies the day before yesterday. But as I never buy some – because I always think I can do it all at home better and cheaper… and with more fun – we didn’t had some. As such craving don’t pass by easily or until the next day, I decided to make some simple chocolate chip cookies. They are simple and easy and I made them a dozen times already. So I can say: they are the best. In my opinion.

They are crispy on the outside and have a softer core. This time I used dark and milk chocolate. But usually I only use the dark one. And if you don’t have chocolate chips on hand, use normal chocolate bars (you should like the chocolate of course) and chop it into small pieces. You can vary the size of your cookies by forming smaller or bigger dough balls, before baking. Depends on your liking to eat more palm-size cookies or two-bite-size cookies. I lean towards the second choice…

So if you have just 30 minutes left (for everything!), try and make them. I’m sure you will be convinced, too. I mean, who can stand this:
