Description

These Devil's Food Drop Cookies are the ultimate chocolate lover's treat, offering a dense, fudgy texture reminiscent of brownies in cookie form. Made with unsweetened chocolate, brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla, they deliver deep, robust cocoa flavors in every bite. The addition of sour cream ensures a tender crumb, while chopped walnuts provide a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and grease cookie sheets.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, softened butter, and vanilla until creamy.
  4. Beat in the melted chocolate mixture, then add the egg and sour cream, mixing until well combined.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just incorporated.
  7. Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  10. While cookies bake, make the frosting: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa, softened butter, instant coffee, vanilla, and enough milk to reach a spreadable consistency.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  12. Once cool, spread or pipe the mocha frosting over the top of each cookie.
