Ingredients

½cupall-purpose flour

⅓cuprye flour

½teaspoonground cinnamon or ginger

½teaspoonsalt

5tablespoonsunsalted butter, cut into pieces

8ouncesdark chocolate, coarsely chopped

⅔cupgranulated sugar

2cold large eggs

1teaspoonvanilla extract

¼cupturbinado sugar, for rolling

Directions

Whisk all-purpose flour, rye flour, cinnamon (or ginger) and salt in a medium bowl.

Fit another medium bowl into a pan of gently simmering water—don’t let the water touch the bottom of the bowl. Put butter in the bowl, then put dark chocolate on top. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter and chocolate are melted. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in granulated sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat energetically until the mixture is thick and smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture with a flexible spatula until the dry ingredients disappear into the dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Put turbinado sugar in a small bowl.

Using a scant tablespoon per cookie, roll the dough into balls between your palms. Roll the balls around in the sugar to coat. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets (13-15 per pan), giving them 1 1/2 inches or so of room to spread. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie with a wine cork or your thumb.

Bake 1 pan at a time until the cookies feel almost firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack. The indentations will have puffed in the oven, so gently press them down again.

Tips

To make ahead:Refrigerate dough (Steps 1-2) for up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before continuing. Store cookies airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Equipment:Parchment paper or silicone baking mats

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
