A Little Taste of Heaven

Craving chocolate is common among very many...I'm one of those 'many'.
Made some Chocolate Crackle cookies. A little healthier than usual. If I would have had Stevia instead of sugar and oat or almond flour instead of all purpose, they definitely would have been all the way healthy!

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large egg, beaten lightly
  • 2 spoonfuls of molasses drizzled around dry mixture
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar plus additional for dusting hands

In a bowl (preferably metal) stir together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add the olive oil. Stir in egg until mixture and drizzle the molasses. Use a fork to mix all this together. If I would not have, it would have never worked. 

Preheat oven to 400°F. and put some parchment paper down on a cookie sheet pan.

Spoon level teaspoons of dough onto a sheet of wax paper. Put 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and dust hands with additional. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and then in confectioners' sugar in bowl. Arrange balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are just set. Cool cookies on racks(Or just let them sit there, like I did) :)

Saturday Treat with my coffee...
