Chocolate Crackles.

Because I love chocolate.


Because it's been a crazy week.


Because these are delicious and easy and it's the weekend and there's no reason not to make them.

Chocolate Crackles
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
Confectioner's sugar

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.  In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the egg and mix well.  Stir in the dry ingredients until a smooth dough forms, then freeze the dough for about 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a small bowl, dredge teaspoon-fuls of dough balls in confectioner's sugar and then place them on the baking sheet.  Bake just until the tops rise and crack, 5-8 minutes.  Let cool slightly, then gobble them up or let them cool completely and store airtight up to 3 days :)

  9. Yum! These totally take me back to my childhood. I love that you freeze the dough--we used to have to refrigerate it overnight. This way gives you instant satisfaction!

  20. McDonald's Singapore introduced the Nasi Lemak Burger as a nod to the country's rich culinary heritage. This burger features a coconut-flavored chicken patty, sambal sauce, fried egg, cucumber slices, and a bed of fragrant rice, capturing the essence of the beloved Nasi Lemak dish.
