CHOCOLAVA COOKIES

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • 1tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 2large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2tsp vanilla
  • Icing sugar for rolling

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt, breaking up any lumps of brown sugar. Add the butter and pulse or stir with a fork, pastry cutter or whisk until the mixture is well combined and crumbly. Add eggs and vanilla and stir by hand until dough comes together.

The dough will be fairly dry – it will seem at first that there isn’t enough moisture, but if you keep stirring or get in there and use your fingers, eventually it will come together. Place a few spoons of icing sugar into shallow dish. Roll dough into 1 -1/2 inch balls and roll the balls in icing sugar to coat.

Place them about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, until just around the edges but still soft in the middle. Makes about 20 cookies, 111 calories each.
