I am so thrilled to be joinging the Cookie Exchange hosted by the lovely Vanessa @ Southern In My Heart., and Gourmet Meals For Less. Be sure to visit them to find wonderful cookie recipes for the season. This is my family's favorite cookie. It is a Chocolate Crackle. Tastes like a brownie and so yummy.
Chocolate Crackle Recipe
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. salad oil
2 c. sugar
4 eggs - unbeaten
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped walnuts ( optional )
1 c. powdered sugar.
Melt chocolate, add oil, sugar and beat until well mixed. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each. Add vanilla and mix. Add the sifted flour, baking power and salt gradually and mix thoroughly. Add nuts if desired. Cover with saran and place in refrigerator to chill for a couple of hours or overnight.
Use a rounded teaspoon full of dough and shape into a ball, then roll in powdered sugar. Place on greased cookie sheets and bake at 350 F. for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies will look slightly wet and puffy when done. Remove as soon as possible to wax paper to cool. Makes about 4 dozen.
Merry Christmas, and thanks for stopping by.
Those look great Marty! Salad oil was something I have never seen used. I joined Vanessa's too, I am not much of a baker, so perhaps this will inspire me. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteThese are one of our family favorites too! We make these every Christmas-I have this recipe from my mom's old 1962 Woman's Day Cookie Cookbook (the pages are yellowed and the cover is taped together...but the recipes are wonderful :o)
ReplyDeleteI love your photos of them displayed perfectly.
Blessings & Aloha!

ReplyDeleteOh Marty, these look so yummy and you say they taste like brownies, SO I WILL definitely make them. I was reading your recipe and the instructions say to melt in chocolate,AND one of the ingredients mentioned is CREAM "But" I don't see CREAM mentioned in the ingredients??? and what kind of cream would it be??? Thank you SO much for the recipe...
