Chocolate Decadence Cookies Recipe (2024)

Well the first cookie I am going to share with you is so simple that even I couldn’t screw it up, and this cookie is so sinfully delicious, that at one of the accounts I worked at as a Director (I only baked to have something to do), this cookie became known as my “Oh My God Cookie” because those were the words uttered whenever anyone ate one. This cookie is of course from the Queen of Chocolate Alice Medrich.

Alice calls it her Bittersweet Chocolate Decadence Cookie, and let me tell you Decadent is truth in advertising! My second cookie came from having too much white chocolate on hand (my wife loves white chocolate), and feeling the need to make a white chocolate version of the same cookie. Well, friends let me tell you, it’s not quite that easy. The cookie was delicious but didn’t hold up quite the same as the Original. Let’s start with the Bittersweet Version!

Now there are two things you will want to do that will change this cookie and not for the better. First of all, no matter how much you want to, do not add any more flour to this mixture, you do not need it…….trust me!

Secondly, do not leave these cookies to bake too long, you want the inside to still be a little gooey, as long as the outside has set the inside should be fine, so do not go past the recommended time! After the cookie sits a while it sill set up. I also found that using all bittersweet chocolate doesn’t do the cookie justice, I use the absolutely best chocolate I can find, and its always Semi-sweet or Bittersweet, but I use plain old toll house chips for the second addition, feel free to adjust this as you like. But all bittersweet won’t give it that OMG taste! Now for my second cookie……sigh……I keep telling you I’m not a trained baker, but I do love to bake! Well, I knew just changing over white chocolate for dark chocolate wouldn’t be an equal trade-off…..I knew that….but I figured well, maybe it would (this is typical guy behavior, we know something isn’t really right, but we do it anyway…sigh). Now what I did do, was to cut the sugar in half, White chocolate is sweeter, and I upped the flour by ⅓ cup……well that wasn’t quite enough. I should have used at least a half a cup, maybe even a little bit more. I also should have thrown it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to let it set up better, it started to spread before it went in the oven. But even with all that the cookie was almost, and I do say almost an OMG cookie. I used salted pistachios instead of walnuts, and the salt was perfect with the sweetness of the cookie, that was a good decision!
