Ingredients


- I added 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder(coffee will always enhance the chocolate flavour)
- I decreased cinnamon to 1/4 teaspoon
- chocolate is the shining star in this recipe, use a high quality dark chocolate- minimum 70% cocoa
Preparing to Bake



- I recommend chilling dough for 4hrs, even better if you can chill overnight
- if you want uniform cookies invest in a cookie scoop
- I made my cookies larger than recipe suggested, this allowed me to add more filling
Filling


- I tried Dories recommendation for the filling; Ruby chocolate, and it was by far my favourite, out of the three I used/ the sour-tang of the ruby paired beautifully with the intensity of the dark chocolate
- I decided to add some decorations to my cookies/ I used freeze dried raspberry chips, ruby pearls, and bronze chocolate pallets.
- this recipe calls to bake the cookie dough before adding the jam, but I like adding the jam pre-bake so that it gets nice and warm and bakes into the dough. This gives you a slightly crunchy ring on the very edge of the cookie and a very jammy, warm center as you bite through.
The Results
My rating of this recipe is 5 out of 5. I definitely will make this cookie again. I will experiment with different fillings. I also might try to make as a sandwich cookie.
