Chocolate Crackles
This is a recipe my son enjoys making with me, especially tasting from the mixing bowl! Mixing and rolling the dough balls are his specialty.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup cocoa powder sifted
- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted butter, with cocoa and stir until smooth. Let cool.
- Add eggs and vanilla, stir well.
- Add to flour mixture. Stir, stir, and stir some more. This takes elbow grease, but it will form into a ball.
- Scoop the dough by rounded Tablespoons and roll each ball in confectioners sugar.
- Place cookies on a silicone mat on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
