How to Make This Dark Dream Crumble Cookie?
Necessary Ingredients
- 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
- One teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- One tablespoon of boiling water
Filling
- Three tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Necessary Equipment
- 9-inch pie shell
- Food processor
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
- Rubber Spatula
- 8-inch baking pan
- Silicone brush/pastry brush
Preparation Instructions
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2.
With a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter until creamy and light. Add granulated sugar and continue beating until it’s light yellow. Add dark chocolate chips and mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then mix on high speed for another 1 minute or so until the dark chocolate chips are incorporated into the batter.
Step 3.
Add boiling water and mix for another 2 minutes on low speed until the cookie dough forms light and airy. With a spatula, scoop cookie dough into a ball, roll it in the palm of your hand to create a long snake, then cut it into 1-inch slices with a serrated knife. Set them back onto the baking sheet while you prepare the filling.
Step 4.
Whisk together heavy cream and salt in a small bowl until well blended. Set aside. Place the baking pan on the preheated oven rack and set aside for 15 minutes until the pie shell’s edges are slightly toasted (but not charred). Meanwhile, prepare a foil sling by stretching a double layer over the top of a baking sheet.
Step 5.
Line the hot pie shell’s bottom with a piece of parchment paper, spray it lightly with cooking spray, and set aside for 10 minutes. Dip a silicone brush or pastry brush in the heavy cream, then paint the insides of the 9-inch pastry shell, including its edges.
Step 6.
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake on the center rack at 350°F (176°C) for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the baking pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, remove the foil sling and place the pie shell on a cake stand to serve.
Tips:
- Use a teaspoon if you don’t have a silicone or pastry brush.
- I bought my dark chocolate chips at Whole Foods, which contain hazelnut flavor. You may use regular dark chocolate chips, but if you do, add 1/2 teaspoon of hazelnut extract to the cookie dough in Step 3 instead of 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- I used a Wilton 9-inch pie shell (in the refrigerated section).
