DIY Chocolate Almond Crackle Cookies
I thought I'd try something a bit different for my last batch of Christmas cookies. So, as I was browsing through recipes I noticed several on chocolate crackle cookies. I always make cookies as healthy as I can because Tom and I have a tendency to overindulge. So I added my own touch and came up with a delicious cookie with an almond flavor. If you don't care for almond flavoring you could substitute another extract for the almond. Mine weren't as pretty as some of the pictures but they sure tasted good! So maybe you'll give these a try and enjoy them as much as we are. Happy Holidays!
MAKES: 42 cookies (the batch will vary according to the size you make the cookie)
PREP TIME: 15 minutes then a couple of hours in the fridge
COOK TIME: 12-14 minutes for each batch (makes 2 batches
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup walnut or almond oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted
PREPARATION:
1. Melt the chocolate either in a double boiler or in the microwave. Don't overmelt!
2. In a mixer, combine brown sugar and oil then add the eggs, one at a time. Mix until smooth. Add almond extract.
3. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Thoroughly mix then place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 350*, place parchment paper on your cookie sheet and scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and form into a round shape then place on parchment paper. Bake at 350*F for 12-14 minutes. The cookies will puff up and expand a bit so you can put them about 1/2" apart on the cookie sheet.
PLATING:
No plating for cookies, just pop 'em in your mouth and enjoy!
Happy Holidays,
Tom and Anita
