hi.

Crackled Chocolate Cookies (from the Cuisine magazine)


150g flour
60 g cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
200 g caster sugar
60 g butter (cold and diced)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Icing sugar to coat

Preheat the oven 200 C and line two baking trays with baking paper.

Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Rub the butter into the flour mix until it resembles bread crumbs.

Whisk the egg and vanilla together then stir into the flour mix with a large spoon. Put into the fridge for 30 mins then roll into walnut sized balls and toss in the icing sugar. Place onto the baking trays but don't flatten. Bake about 10-12 mins. Cool for 5 mins on the baking tray then remove to totally cool on a wire rack.
