Saucepan Fudge Crackle Cookies

@arecipe.bsky.social

These saucepan fudge crackle cookies are true chocolate cookies. They are brownie-like or cake-like. They tend to have a dome-like surface that stands ½–¾-inch tall, and have a diameter of 2.5–5 inches. The surface is cracked.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup margarine
  • 3 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped nuts (for example, ½-inch walnut pieces)
  • Additional sugar for coating

Instructions

  1. 1
    Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. 2
    In a 3-quart saucepan on low heat, melt together the margarine and chocolate.
  3. 3
    Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat.
  4. 4
    Into the chocolate mixture, mix the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and nuts.
  5. 5
    Mix the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture.
  6. 6
    Cover and refrigerate until firm. Overnight would be good.
  7. 7
    Make 1½-inch balls of the mixture. As you make them, roll them in coarse sugar and place them onto a cool, ungreased, insulated cookie sheet. Be sure to allow room for expansion.
  8. 8
    Bake at 300°F for 20 minutes.
  9. 9
    Immediately remove the cookies from the cookie sheet. If you delay, the cookies will very strongly adhere to the cookie sheet.
