Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the melted butter and eggs until combined, then stir in the white chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Put the confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls, then roll in the confectioners' sugar until well coated. Place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets.
  • Bake until the cookies are puffed and the tops are cracked, about 10 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect white chocolate coating, ensure it is melted slowly and evenly. You can opt for a double boiler or microwave method, stirring frequently to prevent overheating and maintaining a smooth consistency.
  • When choosing nuts, opt for fresh and flavorful varieties. Lightly toasting them enhances their aroma and texture, providing a delightful crunch. Additionally, consider experimenting with different nut combinations to create unique flavor profiles.
  • For an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle some finely chopped candied fruits or colored sprinkles over the white chocolate-coated nut crackles before they set. This simple addition elevates the presentation and offers a delightful burst of sweetness.
  • Portion control is key to ensuring each nut crackle is bite-sized. Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to consistently measure portions, resulting in uniform and visually appealing treats.
  • Allow the nut crackles to cool and set completely before indulging. This step ensures the white chocolate hardens and the flavors meld together, delivering a satisfying and delectable experience.

Conclusion:

White chocolate nut crackles are a delightful and versatile confection that combines the richness of white chocolate with the nutty crunch of roasted nuts.
