Chocolate Snowflakes cookie recipe here you go Julie

[Guest guest]

These are the best. Watch faces as they try this cookie. They travel well and

make a good gift. The tops crack a bit and the powdered sugar looks like snow on

top.

 

" Chocolate Snowflakes (cookies)

 

4 of the (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares (in baking isle of store)

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

2 tsps. vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsps. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

* 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar to roll balls in * Don't add to cookie dough

 

Combine sugar, oil and melted chocolate in a large mixing bowl, beat at medium

speed of an electric mixer until well blended.

Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.

In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt and stir dry ingredients

together until well blended.

Add about 1/4 of the dry mixture at a time to the chocolate mixture. Mixing

after each addition.

Cover batter and let chill for 2 hours.

Preheat oven and grease cookie sheets.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar.

Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.

bake for 9 to 12 minutes.

Cool on wire rack.

 

*Note - Make sure you use unsweetened chocolate not the semi sweetened. Make

sure you let this dough chill, makes it easier to handle, I always put a drop of

vegetable oil on my hands before I roll cookies, just a drop now.

I also place chocolate squares in a Pyrex bowl or 2 cup measuring cup and melt

the chocolate on low defrost in the microwave and stir often until melted. The

double boiler is too much extra work and not needed.
