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 the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and that they are fresh and of good quality. This will greatly impact the taste and texture of your chocolate snaps.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Chocolate snaps are a delicate pastry, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients, as this could affect the outcome of your cookies.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in crispier, more evenly baked cookies.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The oven temperature is crucial for achieving the perfect chocolate snaps. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will burn; if it's too cold, they won't cook properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough, chewy cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing or serving. This will help them to crisp up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

With the right ingredients, careful preparation, and attention to detail, you can easily make delicious chocolate snaps at home. Experiment with different flavorings and toppings to create your own unique variations of this classic cookie. Whether you enjoy them as a sweet treat or as part of a festive occasion, chocolate snaps are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Happy Baking!
