Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Lightly coat the inside of six 6-ounce soufflé cups with the unsalted butter.
  3. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of granulated sugar into each cup, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
  4. Set the prepared cups aside.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat.
  6. Place the semisweet chocolate and 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate (broken into 1/2-ounce pieces) in the top half of the double boiler.
  7. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until melted.
  8. Remove from heat and stir until the chocolate mixture is completely smooth.
  9. Transfer the melted chocolate to a large stainless steel bowl.
  10. Whisk in 6 egg yolks and 1/4 cup heavy cream until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  11. Set the chocolate mixture aside.
  12. In a clean mixing bowl, place 8 egg whites.
  13. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whip attachment, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.
  14. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar while continuing to whip on high.
  15. Continue whipping until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 45 to 50 seconds more.
  16. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
  17. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold about one-quarter of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
  18. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain.
  19. Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared soufflé cups, filling each to about 1/2 inch below the rim.
  20. Chop 3 deep dark chocolate fudge cookies into 1/2-inch pieces.
  21. Sprinkle the cookie pieces and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of each soufflé.
  22. Place the soufflés on the center rack of the preheated oven.
  23. Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the soufflés are puffed.
  24. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot.
