Thin Milk Chocolate Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line two or three baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another bowl, in the microwave oven, melt half the chocolate with the butter. Stir to combine and let cool.

4. 4

   In another bowl, using a whisk, combine the brown sugar, molasses, and egg until well incorporated. Add the dry ingredients, melted chocolate mixture, and the remaining chopped chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

5. 5

   With floured hands, shape the dough into 30 ml (2 tablespoons) balls for each cookie. Place eight cookies per baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

6. 6

   Bake one sheet at a time for about 8 minutes or until the edges of the cookies start to brown. They will still be very soft in the centre.

7. 7

   Right out of the oven, sprinkle the cookies with the pieces of chocolate or drizzle with the melted chocolate. Let cool.
