Chewy Raspberry Cocoa Cookies
From an anonymous postcard seen on Postsecret
Makes 6 dozen 1.5″ cookies
1/2 cup raspberry jelly
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt, then stir in the jam, oil, and extracts. Flatten into walnut-sized balls on greased cookie sheets and bake for 10 minutes.
17 and Baking convinced me that these cookies should be made *immediately*, and I have the ingredients plus insomnia. unfortunately I lack a cookie sheet and do not want to test the mighty Murphy by doubling up aluminum foil. also rolling six dozen tiny dough balls? yeah, only if I have a slave indentured servant boyfriend willing assistant. evidently they are two-bite-size, soft on the inside with a crispy ring around the edge (which is the perfect cookie consistency for this type imho), staggeringly easy, and taste like raspberry-jelly-topped brownies. raspberry plus chocolate? zomg!yespleasemmmmmyummysogoodnomnom.
I can't wait till I have a fully functioning (as opposed to gallantly limping) kitchen. the poor dear tries its best though. I have made it almost 3 months without being hampered by not having a microwave.
