Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon truffle oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cooled melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and truffle oil, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle each cookie with a little sea salt, pressing it gently into the dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these decadent truffle cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee.
