CHOCOLATE COOKIES: Semi-soft chocolate cookies in a cake box. Photo: Good morning Norway
Beat the flight melange and sugar until fluffy. Beat the eggs and egg yolk into a fluffy mass and mix in the dry ingredients. Add the chopped chocolate and mix with a spoon. Put the dough in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes.
To form cookies, I usually use 2 moistened tablespoons dipped in cold water. Place on baking trays covered with baking paper so that there is a little space between them, they will float a little during baking. Bake on the middle rail in a hot oven at 180 degrees for 10-12 minutes, the cooking time depends on the thickness. The cookies should be slightly soft inside and with a crispy crust. Cool before placing in the cake pan. Stores best in a cake pan.
Tips: Light cookies with chocolate chips, use 200 g of chopped cooking chocolate and mix into the dough. Dark chocolate cookies use 300 g of cooking chocolate. Melt 100 g of food chocolate and mix with 200 g of chopped cooking chocolate into the dough. Along with chocolate, you can also add ½-1 dl of chopped walnuts and ½ dl of squeezed orange juice to the dough. Or you can add chopped dried cranberries to the dough. I usually soak the cranberries before adding them.
