CHEWY CHOCOLATE SNOWCAPS
Dense and rich with the flavor of toasted pecans and dark chocolate, these cookies evoke brownies or fudge. They are made with egg whites for leavening and contain no flour, so they are a great gluten-free alternative. The batter comes together fast, although it will seem like the egg whites can't possibly provide enough moisture. Just keep stirring with a strong spoon and a very thick batter will quickly materialize.

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.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, espresso, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
- Don't skip the sifting process.
- If you are using instant coffee, be sure to press the coffee pieces through the sieve so they become smaller grains that are totally incorporated into the cookies.

- Beat in egg until combined; mix in cooled chocolate.
- With mixer on low, add flour a little at a time.
- Then beat in milk until just combined.

- That takes about 45 minutes, but you can freeze it longer if you want to make the cookies the next day.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment or foil.
- Shape dough into one-inch balls.
- The dough is still messy, so it helps to roll very fast, and sprinkle a little powdered sugar on your hands between cookies.

- Make sure they are completely coated and no dark dough is visible.

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is ideal.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- To make the chocolate mint filling, use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. Finely chop the mint leaves before adding them to the chocolate mixture.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
- To make the chocolate mint snowcaps, use a small spoon or a piping bag to drop the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the snowcaps are evenly spaced so that they don't touch each other.
- Chill the chocolate mint snowcaps for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mint snowcaps are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create these delightful candies that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate mint snowcaps a try. You won't be disappointed!
