CHOCOLATE SNAPS

Categories     Dessert

Time 18m

Yield 72 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups butter
6 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and 2 cups sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, baking soda, unsweetened chocolate and salt. Add flour, mixing carefully and thoroughly. Place in a freezer ziploc bag and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Take dough out of freezer. Place 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Roll dough into little balls and roll into sugar. Place in greased cookie sheets and bake for 350 degrees F. for 8-12 minutes.
  • Variation: Instead of unsweetened baking chocolate, use 3 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa and 1 tablespoon oil for each ounce on unsweetened baking chocolate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the snaps will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the snaps tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the snaps hold their shape.
  • Bake the snaps until they are just set: The snaps should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the snaps cool completely before handling them: The snaps are delicate when they are warm. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before handling them.

Conclusion:

Chocolate snaps are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these crispy, chocolatey cookies that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a sweet snack or a special dessert, chocolate snaps are sure to please.
