30 Cookies
  • Ingredients
    • 1/4 cup white chocolate (60 mL)
    • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (310 mL)
    • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (30 mL)
    • 1 tsp baking powder (5 mL)
    • ¼ tsp salt (1 mL)
    • 2 eggs (2)
    • 3 Tbsp canola oil (45 mL)
    • 1 1/2 tsp red food colouring (7 mL)
    • ¾ cup granulated sugar (175 mL)
    • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (250 mL)
  • Directions
    1. Put white chocolate in a microwave-safe dish and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth.
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
    3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, canola oil and food colouring. Add granulated sugar and melted white chocolate, whisking until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until well combined. Transfer dough to a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
    4. Preheat oven to 300ºF (150ºC). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Put confectioner’s sugar in a small bowl.
    5. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls; toss into confectioner’s sugar and stir to coat. Slightly flatten the balls and then dip in the sugar again to coat well.
    6. Arrange 2 inches (5 cm) apart on prepared cookie tray. Bake, until puffed and firm, about 16 to 18 minutes.
