Alison baked a batch of wonderful chocolate cookies over the weekend. They are called Chocolate Crackles because of their appearance, but they are actually moist and chewy.
Here's the recipe:
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups plain flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups plain flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar
Melt chocolate. Blend with oil and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Add vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix. Chill dough several hours. Shape into small balls and roll in powdered sugar. Bake on greased cookie sheets at 350 degrees, 10-12 minutes.
