The Easy Addition For Double The Cocoa In Chocolate Chip Cookies
BY WENDY LEIGH
To get a bonus chocolate blast in your chocolate chip cookies without risking unpredictable texture or flavor implosions, all you need is finely powdered cocoa.
Cocoa powder harbors concentrated amounts of pure chocolate flavor that can instantly upgrade your cookies. Simply replace a portion of the flour with cocoa powder.
The best cocoa powder for enriching chocolate chip cookies is pure, natural, unsweetened cocoa powder. This will prevent the cookies from being too sweet and enhance the texture.
Because natural cocoa powder has a concentrated and slightly bitter taste, it only takes a small amount to transform chocolate chip cookies. A few tablespoons should do the trick.
