Chocolate Crackle Tops Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat sugar, oil, chocolate and vanilla until blended. Beat in egg. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or until firm enough to handle., Preheat oven to 350°. With sugared hands, shape dough into 1-in. balls; roll in confectioners' sugar. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with shortening.
• Combine chocolate and butter in a large, heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until well blended. Gradually add white and brown sugars; beat until tripled in volume and very pale yellow, at least 10 minutes. The mixture should leave ribbons when you lift the beaters. Fold in the chocolate-butter mixture and vanilla extract, then flour mixture. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, 28 to 32 minutes. Cool before cutting into 16 brownies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring. Set aside, and let cool. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Mix butter and brown sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in eggs and vanilla, and then the melted chocolate. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the milk. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Wrap each in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Divide each piece into 16 (1-inch) balls. Roll in granulated sugar to coat, then in confectioners' sugar to coat. Space 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake until surfaces crack, about 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers up to 3 days.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one inch balls. I like to use a number 50 size scoop. Coat each ball in confectioners' sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• 1. Using a blender finely chop pecans a small amount at a time (1/2 cup works well), set aside in measuring cup. Continue until you have 2 cups of ground nuts
• 2. Working in batches: Using blender, place 1 broken square of the unsweetened chocolate along 1/3 of the bread crumbs and some of the flour. Grind until finely chopped. Place in small bowl and repeat until all chocolate is ground. I have found that adding the flour and bread crumbs with the chocolate when grinding keeps the chocolate from melting in the blender.
• 3. Using mixing bowl, cream eggs and sugar.
• 4. Add nuts, spices and ground chocolate mixture. Mix until blended. Remove mixing bowl from mixer. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator at least 15 minutes or overnight.
• 5. When ready to bake, Place powered sugar in small bowl. Remove cookie mixture from refrigerator. Roll chilled dough into small balls about 1" in size. Keeping the balls small keeps the cookie from spreading when cooking.
• 6. Place dough balls in powered sugar and roll. Place onto greased cookie sheets. I like to place the dough back in the refrigerator to keep it chilled and allow the cookie sheet to cool before baking another sheet of cookies.
• 7. Bake 12 - 15 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from oven. Cool a minute, then remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container. If there are any left after a couple days I find they can be frozen.

Steps:

• In a bowl (preferably metal) stir together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and blend in butter. Stir in egg and vanilla until mixture is blended. NOTE: (Some people add ¼ cup mini chocolate chips to make richer, I did not).
• Spread dough in a thin layer in bowl and freeze 10 minutes, or until firm.
• Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Put 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and dust hands with additional. Roll each piece of dough into a ball (small - gumball size) and then in confectioners' sugar in bowl. Arrange balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets, bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are just set. Cool cookies on racks.

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Blend in chocolate. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition.
• Refrigerate 3 hours.

• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter until smooth, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in sugar and continue stirring 2-3 min or until sugar dissolves. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in vanilla.
• In a separate bowl sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir into the chocolate mix in batches, until just blended. Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until the dough is cold and holds its shape.
• Preheat oven to 325 deg. Grease two or more large baking sheets. Place powdered sugar in a small, deep bowl. Using your hands scoop cold dough into small balls and roll into 1 ½ in balls. Drop each ball into the powdered sugar and roll until heavily coated. Remove with a slotted spoon and tap against the side of the bowl to remove excess sugar. Place on the baking sheets 1 ½ in apart.
• Bake for 10-15 min or until tops feel slightly firm when touched. Place baking sheet on wire rack for 2-3 min, then remove cookies and cool on rack completely.
