How to Make Mudslide Cookies Lightened Up
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped), and 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (chopped).
- Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until completely smooth and glossy.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon hot water.
- Stir the coffee mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the melted chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large egg whites (or 1/4 cup egg substitute), and 2 large egg yolks using an electric mixer on high speed for 6 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Gently fold 1/4 of the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture to temper it.
- Gradually add the chocolate mixture to the remaining egg mixture, folding gently to combine.
- Carefully fold in the dry ingredients and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Using a slightly moistened hand, gently flatten each cookie to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
