CHOCOLATE VOLCANO COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper; lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar, cocoa, and salt. Add egg whites and vanilla and beat with wooden spoon until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Set dough aside 5 minutes. If your batter is too runny, cover and refrigerate 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, or until set and crackly. Let cool on cookie sheets 3 minutes; then, with spatula, carefully transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• "Preheat oven to 325 F. Melt chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler (or in a mixing bowl set in a pan of very warm water). Add the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Add the vanilla. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to thoroughly incorporate. Chill dough. Roll into small balls, and roll the balls in confectioners sugar. Place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake. As they bake, the cookies will spread slightly and the tops will crack. Source: Clipped from the Chicago Daily News years ago. Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #323 by Marilyn Olander on Dec 12, 1997"
