Give into Temptation!!



Since these were a BIG hit at a party recently(I made 140), and some have wanted this recipe, I thought that I would share my creation!! I am not an expert, but I love creating new things. And I must say...Ladies, you know when you crave SOME CHOCOLATE...well these hit the SPOT!!


Hope you enjoy, let me know!!!


By the way for dessert tonight we are having these, crumbled up in a bowl, add some frozen Vanilla Yogurt and top it off with Chocolate Syrup!! If we had cherries...I would add one! 

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIE BALLS@Sherry Watton 2012.
Preheat Oven to 375

½ cup Butter(softened)
½ cup Brown Sugar 
½ cup White Sugar
½ cup of Cocoa (unsweetened)
2 eggs
2 ½ cups of flour(just the regular All-Purpose Flour)
2tsp Baking Powder
1 Cup of Chocolate Chips

Cream the Butter and the Sugars, once well blended, add the Cocoa, cream again, then add the eggs and cream again…..NICE AND CREAMY!!!

In another bowl have the flour and B. Powder mixed together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. When its almost thoroughly mixed, I add the Chocolate Chips. Mix it all, it will get hard to mix after awhile, all thick and NICE!! If its not thick enough and too mushy to handle …just add a little more flour for a nice hard thickness. Then I make balls…grab some and roll it in your hands. Usually, I can make 35 Balls…but  if YOU want BIGGER balls…you want bigger Balls…just remember to adjust your time for BAKING. I have adjusted my baking time to 8 minutes…I still want them soft, like brownie consistency …..then let them cool.

CHOCOLATE COATING: I have melted in the microwave(cause I have that button to melt chocolate) 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips, then add 1tbsp of Veg. Oil, for glossiness…mix well.

For larger batches of cookies, I have melted the chocolate chips in a small pot, just on low heat, stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn!! Then add the Oil, stir till its smooth and shiny.

I use a teaspoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies…..then after I sprinkle with some candy sprinkles or whatever you have…or nothing at all!! Mostly I do the sprinkles for the kids. Then refrigerate till the melted chocolate is hardened!!

To make them fancier, drizzle some melted, white chocolate over the other chocolate(once that hardens). I have even used Peanut Butter Chips instead of chocolate…but with so many peanut allergies out there, I usually stick with Chocolate Chips!!  I have also used Semi Sweet Chips before, but I like Milk Chocolate Chips better…more of a preference!!  ENJOY!!


PS. You have to try one about 10 minutes or so after they come out of the oven, just heavenly...luscious chocolate melting in your mouth!!! Just saying!!
