Sno Caps Cocoa Cookies Recipe 465

CHEWY CHOCOLATE SNOWCAPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together sugar, cocoa and salt. Stir in chocolate and pecans. Beat egg whites until slightly stiff, then stir into chocolate mixture until just until incorporated. (Do not overmix.) You can use a stand mixer on low or a sturdy spoon and a large bowl.
• Crush sugar cubes and place in a shallow bowl. Using a small ice cream scoop or a melon baller, spoon up dough to create a scoop about the size of a golf ball. Lightly dip the top of the cookie into the sugar and then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake until cookie tops are dry and crackled, about 12 to 15 minutes. Rotate sheets if using more than 1 at a time. The cookies should be dry and crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside and capped with a nice sprinkling of chunky sugar.
• Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies cool completely. Can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days.

CHOCOLATE-ESPRESSO SNOWCAPS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, espresso, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until well combined; mix in cooled chocolate. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat in milk until just combined. Flatten dough into a disk; wrap in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Pour confectioners' sugar (about 1/2 cup) into a medium bowl; working in batches, roll balls in sugar two times, letting them sit in sugar between coatings.
• Place on prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies have spread and coating is cracked, 12 to 14 minutes; cookies will still be soft to the touch. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

CHOCOLATE MINT SNOWCAPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• With a spoon, mix dry cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl until dough forms. Work out any clumps of mix with spoon.
• Stir in mint chocolate chips.
• Using a tablespoon, scoop dough and shape into 1 inch balls. Roll in confectioner's sugar.
• Place cookies about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes until set. Tops will appear cracked.
• After one minute, remove cookies from baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool.
