Chocolate Earthquake Cookies
Posted
I’ve been trying out a few different types of chocolate cookies, this one caught my eye because of the name. Most of the recipes involved the use volumetric measurements, so I converted this one to metric below.
Ingredients
- 120g Cocoa Powder (Not Drinking Chocolate)
- 400g Demerara or Granulated Sugar
- 112ml Oil
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 250g Plain Flour
- 56g Powdered Sugar
Method
- Mix the Cocoa Powder (120g), Sugar (400g) and Oil (112ml) in one large bowl.
- Beat the 4 eggs into this mix one by one.
- Add the 2tsp vanilla extract.
- Combine the 2tsp Baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 250g Flour in a separate bowl.
- Combine the contents of the two bowls to make one homogenous mix.
- Chill for 4 hours in the fridge. Before your 4 hours is up, preheat your oven to 175°C.
- Roll 1 inch balls in powdered sugar and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Cook for 9-11 minutes at 175°C.
- Cookies will have a powdered outside with visible earthquake cracks across their surface.
Side Note:
I found this great website for calculating volumetric measurements to metric weights.
