Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies With Cacao Nibs

These Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional favorite, enhanced with the rich flavors and crunchy texture of cacao nibs. The combination of semisweet chocolate chips and cacao nibs provides a deep chocolate experience while maintaining the classic chewy texture. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet treat for yourself, these cookies are bound to impress!

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that the cookies bake evenly and develop that perfect golden-brown crust.
2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier after baking.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together to mix evenly, and set the bowl aside.
4. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue mixing until combined.
6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
7. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Cacao Nibs: Using a spatula, gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and cacao nibs until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
8. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but slightly underbaked (they’ll continue cooking on the sheet).
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies with Cacao Nibs, either fresh with a glass of milk or stored in an airtight container for later. Happy baking!

Cacao Nib Meringue Kisses

Cacao Nib Meringue Kisses are light and airy confections that combine the delicate texture of meringue with the crunchy bite of cacao nibs. These delightful treats are perfect for holiday gatherings or as elegant additions to dessert platters. They are naturally gluten-free and can be enjoyed as a sweet snack or gift during the festive season.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C). This low temperature will allow the meringues to dry out slowly, keeping them light and crunchy.
2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This will help prevent the meringues from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
3. Beat the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add Cream of Tartar and Salt: Once frothy, add the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Continue to beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
5. Incorporate Sugar Gradually: Gradually add the granulated sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. This process should take around 5-7 minutes. Keep beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
6. Add Vanilla Extract: With the mixer running, add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
7. Fold in Cacao Nibs: Carefully fold in the cacao nibs using a spatula. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the meringue mixture without deflating it.
8. Pipe the Meringue Kisses: Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small rounds, about 1 inch in diameter, onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each one.
9. Bake the Meringues: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and can be easily lifted off the parchment paper.
10. Cool and Store: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them crisp.

Enjoy your light and delicious Cacao Nib Meringue Kisses!
