Try a New Recipe Tuesday- February 12


It is time for another great week of recipes!  :-)  I have so much enjoyed all of the recipes that have been shared.  I'm sorry if I haven't had a chance to comment on each and every submission (I am trying!)

This week, my daughter wanted to bake some cookies.  She found an old cookbook (Sesame Street Yummy Cookies) she had from when she was little and we adapted a recipe from it.

Cocoa Crackles
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (one stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350.  Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Stir together the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.  Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl.  Add the eggs and vanilla; beat until well blended.  Add the flour mixture, beat just until blended.


Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.  roll heaping teaspoonfuls of the dough into balls or spheres.  Roll the balls in the powdered sugar until they are coated.  Place two inches apart on the baking sheet.




Bake for about 11 minutes or until they are set and no longer shiny.  Cool the cookies on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes and then remove to racks to cool completely.


These are SO good!  I hope you will enjoy them as much as my family did!  :-)
