My adaptation (some would say bastardization) of the most infamous Dorie Greenspan recipe out there, perfect chocolate butter cookies! A good tip for making even cookie slices that won't flatten on one side is to stick the logs of dough into a paper towel tube - just push the chilled dough through it as you slice! Read more If you freeze this dough (which it does nicely), don't bother defrosting it before baking — just slice the logs with a serrated knife and bake the cookies and extra minute! Cookies will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days; they can be frozen for up to 1 month. I give both the weight and volume measurements since I prefer the weights when baking but know that most people use the volume for day-to-day. See less
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz (3/4 cup) flour shopping list
- 3.4 oz (3/4 cup) Kamut flour shopping list
- 1.8 oz (1/3 cup) cocoa powder shopping list
- 1/2 tsp baking soda shopping list
- 4 oz (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened shopping list
- 1.5 oz (3 tbsp) shortening shopping list
- 4.25 oz (2/3 cup) packed brown sugar shopping list
- 1.7 oz (1/4 cup) sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt shopping list
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract shopping list
- 5 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small bits shopping list
How to make it
- Sift together the flours, cocoa, and baking soda - set aside.
- Beat butter and shortening together with electric beaters until fluffy.
- Beat in sugars and salt, followed by vanilla, until well blended.
- Slowly add dry ingredients, beating only until just blended.
- The mixture will be crumbly, but don`t add any liquid and don`t overwork the dough.
- Fold in chocolate pieces by hand.
- Squeeze and shape the dough into logs about 1 1/2" across.
- Wrap the logs in plastic wrap (or use my tip, above) and freeze 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
- Slice the logs into 1/2" thick slices and space them 1" apart on sheets.
- Bake only one sheet of cookies at a time, for 12 minutes. The cookies will not look done or firm.
- Cool completely on sheets.

What a great idea, pushing the dough through a paper towel tube! The cookies sound delicious too but now I am going to go Google what Kamut flour is. I know, I know, I should probably already have this in my pantry. . .but for some reason I am clue...more
