Salted Chocolate Wheat Cookies
- ½ pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 Tablespoons wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup muscovado sugar (or dark brown sugar)
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- For Chocolate Glaze
- ¼ pound bittersweet chocolate
- Maldon or flaky salt for sprinkling (I used Fleur de sel)
- Place bittersweet chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl.
- Melt in 30 second bursts until chocolate is almost fully melted.
- Stir until smooth. Set aside.
- Combine wheat flour, baking powder, salt and set aside.
- Place eggs in bowl and whisk in a stand mixer until fluffy and lightly colored, adding sugar a little at time. It should take about 6 minutes.
- Now that the chocolate has cooled, add it to the egg/sugar mixture along with the vanilla. mix until fully combine.
- Add the flour mixture and combine until the dough is uniform in color, scraping down the bowl when needed.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After 30 minutes, scoop the dough into 18 balls. The dough is a bit wet so if you have gloves, use them.
- Bake for about 13 minutes.
- Let cool.
- While the cookies cool, melt chocolate in a shallow glass in the microwave in 30 second bursts.
- Stir until smooth.
- Dip cookies half-way into the melted chocolate.
- Salt cookies while the chocolate is still wet.
- Keep in the fridge for 1 week.
