Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Zest of 1/2 large lemon
  • Zest of 1/2 small orange
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature

Icing:

  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (9 ounces), such as Ghirardelli
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.

For the cookies: In a food processor, pulse together the flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and the lemon and orange zests. Add the olive oil and butter and pulse until blended.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, rum and egg until smooth. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until a stiff dough forms. With damp fingers, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place about 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are firm to the touch, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely, about 15 more minutes.

For the icing: Put the chocolate chips and cream in a heatproof medium bowl and place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Dip the cookies halfway into the icing, then return them to the racks and let set at room temperature until firm, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

    These cookies are a nice change to other regular chocolate cookies. They have a cake texture to them. I didn't have cake flour so I used only regular and almond flours. The almond flour gives the cookies nice flavor and texture. I think the cinammon and nutmeg offer a nice balance as well. If you keep them in an air-tight container, they keep well for a few days. They are still nice and soft for me today - 2 days after making them.

    These are more spicy than chocolatey. They look cute with the chocolate topping, but they go pretty rock hard the second day. Warm, straight out of the oven they're a nice texture. Probably won't make them again though.

    Unusual taste--more spice than chocolate. I, too, will cut the cinnamon. I creamed together all the wet ingredients and sugar with a hand mixer; using the processor as advised seemed a waste. They are best with not too much ganache on top. They were dry until the second day. They grow on one; kids probably wouldn't like them.
