Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder -- (NOT Dutch

process )

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate -- coarsely chopped

3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar

1/3 cup light corn syrup

1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla

4 large egg whites

 

Sift the flour, 1 1/2 cups of the confectioner's sugar, cocoa, baking

powder and salt together in a large bowl. In a heavy saucepan,

combine the chocolate and the oil; warm over very low heat, stirring

frequently, until just melted and smooth. Be careful that the

chocolate does not scorch. Remove form the heat and let cool

slightly. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla until well

blended. Using a whisk, beat egg whites into chocolate mixture until

no lumps of sugar remain. With a spoon, gently stir the chocolate

mixture until no lumps of brown sugar remain. With a spoon gently

stir the chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients until smooth.

Cove rthe dough and refrigerate until firm enough to shape into

balls, at least 2 1/2 hours and up to 8 hours.

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil 2 baking sheets or coat

them with non stick cooking spray. Put the remaining 1 cup

confectioners sugar in a shallow bowl. Dusting your hands with

addtional confectioner's sugar, roll portions of dough into 1' balls

between your palms. Dredge each ball in confectioner's sugar until

heavily coated. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets 1 1/2

inches apart.

 

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are almost firm when

tapped. Let the cookies stand until they firm up slightly, about 2

minutes. With a spatula, transfer the cookies to wire racks to

cool. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3

days.
