Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cups 10-oz. pkg. Dark Chocolate chips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioner sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Melt chocolate morsels in a double boiler. Set aside.
  • Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into medium bowl.
  • Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy.
  • Add melted chocolate and mix well.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended, about 1 minute.
  • Add flour mixture in 2 to 3 batches. Mix until just blended.
  • Place batter in fridge for 60 minutes to overnight. (This is the mistake that changed this cookie recipe).
  • Mixture should be really hard. If not, put it back in the fridge until it becomes stiff.
  • Place bowl in a microwave and reheat in short intervals until the dough becomes malleable.
  • Pour into a cake tin (I used a tinfoil pan).
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Vanilla Glaze

  • In a bowl combine the confectioner sugar, milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Finish by pouring glaze over the cookie cake. (Be as generous as you like)
  • Serve and enjoy!
