CHOCOLATE SNAPS

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips over heat and let cool. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. With an electric mixer set at medium-low speed, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla, corn syrup and egg and continue beating until well combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in melted chocolate. Add flour mixture and continue beating until well combined.
• Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Shape dough into approximately 1 inch balls and roll in additional sugar. Put on ungreased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until edges are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Let stand on baking sheets 1 minute before removing to wire racks to cool.

COCOA SNAPS

Steps:

• Melt butter and mix in cocoa until it is thoroughly blended. Add brown sugar. Let is cool slightly, then mix in beaten eggs. Add soda, salt and vanilla and stir. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (overnight is fine too).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, rack in the middle position.
• Roll dough into walnut sized balls with your hands. This dough may be sticky so roll only enough for the cookies you plan to bake immediately, the return the bowl to the refrigerator. Roll the dough balls in the bowl of sugar and place them on greased cookie sheets, 12 to a standard sheet. Flatten them with a spatula.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for a minute or two and then remove the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling. (If you leave them on the cookie sheets too long they will stick).

FLO'S CHOCOLATE SNAPS

Steps:

• Into a small bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
• In a stand mixer fitter with the paddle attachment (or in a bowl by hand), beat together the butter and the sugar on medium speed just until smooth. Add the vanilla, then beat in the egg and egg yolk.
• Gradually add the cocoa mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until completely incorporated and no streaks of butter remain.
• On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough into quarters, and shape each quarter into a log about 7 inches (18 cm) long and 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until they're firm enough to slice, about 1 hour.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Slice the logs into disks 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick and place the disks on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) apart.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets midway through baking, until the cookies are puffed and slightly firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cookies with a bit of sugar.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets until firm enough to handle, then use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack. They will continue to firm up and get "snappy" as they cool.
• The dough can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month. The baked cookies can be kept in an airtight container for 2 days.
• Instead of forming the dough into logs and slicing them, the dough can be rolled out and cut into shapes with cookie cutters.
• If you have coarse-crystal sugar, the sliced unbaked cookies can be dredged in them on one side, then baked sugar side up.
