I saw this post and thought that the cookies sounded unique and delicious. These cookies really do melt in your mouth. The buttermilk keeps the cookies incredibly moist, and the chocolate chips get melty and delicious. I used some bittersweet Ghirardelli chocolate baking chips that were a lot wider than standard chocolate chips, and they only added to the intense chocolatey goodness of these cookies.
Melt-in-Your-Mouth Buttermilk Chocolate Cookies
Baking Bites
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
Melt the butter in a small, microwave safe bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter (still warm) with cocoa powder and whisk until very smooth. Whisk in sugar, vanilla extract and buttermilk. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop dough in 1-inch balls into prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches between cookies to allow for spread.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set around the edges.
Cool for 2-3 minutes on a baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack with a spatula to cool completely.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies

ReplyDeleteI need one of these right now! Now I know what I'm going to do with the buttermilk in my fridge...
ReplyDeleteThey were a big hit at my husband's office, too!
ReplyDeleteFound you on FG 3 hours ago, and had to make these as soon as possible! I did ... and they are delicious! Thanks for sharing them so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! Buttermilk makes anything better! Sharing these on Facebook today...
ReplyDeleteYum! I have a "thing" for buttermilk AND chocolate, especially the good stuff, so this looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to make recipes that don't involved chocolate, but come on! Look at that cookie! It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've recently tries the ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate. Soooo good!! Very intense and chocolatey. Your cookies look extra delicious!
ReplyDeleteWould you mind checking out my blog? :D http://ajscookingsecrets.blogspot.com/
Just the words buttermilk and chocolate instantly grab my attention! Ghirardelli doesn't hurt either :) I HAVE to try these!!
ReplyDeleteMade these last night and they made my life. It's hard to find a chocolate cookie recipe that yields reeeeally chocolatey cookies, and this one definitely did the trick. I love how soft they come out. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to help someone out with a chocolate craving ;)

ReplyDeleteHow about peanut butter chips and chocolate chips
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that combination before...but it sounds tasty!
ReplyDeleteholy yum. these are so good. i threw some kosher salt on top of them before they baked.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fantastic addition - yum!
ReplyDeleteI was given chocolate salt in my Christmas stocking so sprinkled some on top of the cookies as they came out of the oven. They're amazing!
ReplyDeleteChocolate salt?!? OMG that sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteMade these for my boyfriend's birthday yesterday. They are DECADENT. Super chocolatey without being too much. GREAT texture, moist but with structure. I used Hershey's Special Dark chocolate chips in mine.
ReplyDeleteThey're also super easy, which I appreciate :). I hand-whisked everything, so they took a bit of time, but I'd say well worth it.
My boyfriend says, "They're very yummy and VERY chocolatey, maybe less chocolate chips."
I disagree, but figured I'd give another perspective.
Thank you for sharing! These definitely went into my make-again pile.
Carrie - so glad they were such a big hit!
ReplyDeleteThey are quite yummy with cranberries too! Or once I made them with Heath pieces. They're always good!
