🍫🍐 Follow Lisa: Gooey Chocolate Cookies with Dried Pear - Belle Hélène
If you want a chocolaty chewy cookie that is decadent and delicious, then you have to give this one a try. Of course, you can substitute any dried fruit of your choice instead of the dried pears (buy these at Aligro) such as prunes, dried mango, etc. Or leave out the fruit and replace with walnuts or peanuts!
This recipe makes 18 cookies
- 40g flour (8 teaspoons) (or 50g gluten free flour)
- 50g unsweetened cocoa powder (10 teaspoons)
- 120g white sugar (1 cup)
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 120g dried pear, cut up (1 cup)
- 90g chocolate chips (3/4 cup)
- 1 egg
- 60g of melted butter (4 Tablespoons)
1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350ºF).
2. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Add egg and butter and mix.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips and pear. *
5. Roll into balls the size of a walnut and lay them about 5cm (2 inches) apart on a greased baking sheet.
6. Cook them for about 11-13 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
* At this point the dough can be stored in a ziplock bag flattened out to 1cm thickness and refrigerated or frozen. When ready to bake, preheat oven and cut dough into 18 equal parts and shape into balls. Cook per instructions. Check out the video below so you can see the texture you should be aiming for.
