Ingredients to make butter-free chocolate cookies
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (type 00 equivalent)
- 7 tbsp sunflower seed oil
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 oz chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 5.3 oz dark chocolate (50% cocoa)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- vanilla (or vanilla sugar)
Tools
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Baking sheet
- Oven
- Refrigerator
Preparation
Start by chopping the chocolate, then melt it in a bain-marie or in the microwave set to 350W, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl,
add the sugar and begin to mix everything together with the whisk.
Continuing to mix, add the previously melted chocolate and the sunflower oil,
then add the cocoa powder and the vanilla (I chose to add vanilla sugar) and
finally add the flour, salt, baking powder and chocolate chips.
With all ingredients added, the dough will be quite soft and a bit difficult to handle, so be sure to chill it in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 40 minutes. Once the resting time has passed, start preheating the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form dough balls about 1 5/8 inches in diameter (approx.).
Bake at 347°F in a preheated conventional (non-fan) oven for 13–15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let them cool before enjoying.
Storage notes and tips
Store the chocolate cookies under a glass dome or in a cookie tin and consume within 4–5 days or before they become too dry.
