I got so frustrated thinking what to call these cookies!… thinking how to start this post
and sounding silly in the process.
I’ve been playing Dragon Age Origins for the past 4 hours now and as a result having “writers block”.
So, as promised, here is yet another 4 weeks of Christmas recipe post!
Yet another sweet recipe, I just can’t get enough of sweets!
Next week I promise to share a savory Christmas recipe, maybe turkey?
This recipe is from Ana Maria Braga, she calls them American Cookies – not the best name, this
explains why I had to think of a new more suitable one. They’re really yummy and sweet, I just love
dunking them in a glass full of cold milk!
.
INGREDIENTS:
.
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
120 g semi sweet chocolate/dark chocolate – melted
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup icing/powdered sugar
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
.
DIRECTIONS:
.
In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients – leaving out the icing sugar.
Mix well until you obtain a sticky dough. Wrap this in saran wrap
or wax paper and keep in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
With a buttered spoon or a small ice cream scoop, scoop small portions and roll into balls.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF.
Roll the balls into the plate with the icing sugar, completely covering each ball.
Place the cookie balls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes
