These cake-like cookies are better than brownies, confirms field editor Louise Beatty of Amherst, New York. They have crackly tops and subtle coffee flavor. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules |
4 eggs |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 cups plus 3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, heat the butter, chocolate and coffee until chocolate is melted; cool slightly. In a bowl, beat the eggs and salt; add sugar and brown sugar. Stir in chocolate mixture; mix well.
2. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
3. Roll dough into 3/4-in. balls. Roll in confectioners' sugar; place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 5 dozen.
