No Need for Butter! Mildly Bitter Cocoa-Flavored Cookies for Grown-Ups
One time, when I had a craving for cookies, I realized I was out of butter, so made some with what was on hand. This is the recipe I came up with.
I made these slightly (or considerably?) bitter and less sweet than average cookies. For children, or those who prefer sweet cookies, adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
When forming the logs, be sure to use a lot of pressure, and let the air out of the vinyl bag to achieve dense cookies. Recipe by Sakuran

- 1
Combine the ★ ingredients in a bowl. Mix well, then add the egg.
- 2
Add cocoa powder, and mix until you reach an even, smooth consistency. As you stir, press the spatula against the bowl or use a whisk to smooth out lumps.
- 3
Add cake flour, and fold into the batter with a few big strokes (No need to blend to an even consistency.) Transfer the batter to a vinyl bag.
- 4
Double the bag for good measure, then rub the batter until evenly incorporated. Once it is well blended, form into a log and chill it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- 5
Slice into 5 mm and bake for 19 minutes in an oven preheated to 340F/170C. The baking time varies depending on your oven. You may need to bake for another 5 minutes.

I learned this recipe from my friend @Trang Tran on Cookpad. These cookies are crispy and rich. They're perfect for snacking when you're feeling peckish. They are quite high in calories, so just have a little now and then. (That's a promise to myself!) But if you're looking to gain weight, feel free to enjoy them more often!

Craving cookies, but since Da Nang is under a 7-day stay-at-home order, I had to experiment with making cookies. Luckily, I had some flour, but no unsalted butter, so I tried a substitute and found it quite successful. I'm sharing it with everyone here.

Crispy Cocoa & Chocolate Cookies Crispy Cocoa & Chocolate Cookies
I was re-arranging my Praline Cookie recipe. I ran out of chocolate chips, so I used a chocolate bar instead. Chunks of chocolate gave these cookies a nice texture and I thought it actually better than the original recipe.If you chill the cookies in the fridge, the chunks of chocolate turn crunchier and more delicious.
