ingredients
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Grease cookie sheets.
- Separate eggs. Bring butter to room temperature.
- Combine all ingredients except chocolate and egg whites.
- Mix well.
- Stir in chocolate (and nuts if you like).
- Roll in 1 1/2" balls and place on cookie sheet.
- Flatten balls to 3/8" (Yes, they are pretty thick. They don't spread much.).
- Brush with beaten egg white. Don't skip this step as it creates the distinctive crackly top.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until just starting to brown on the edges. I find baking a single sheet in the top third of the oven gives the best results. They tend to burn on the bottom if baked lower in the oven.
- Cool on the sheets 1-2 minutes until firm enough to move to racks for cooling.
- Alternate preparation method: Roll the dough into a 2 1/2 " diameter log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for an hour or freeze for up to several weeks. Before baking, thaw if frozen. Cut into slices 3/8" thick. Brush with egg white and bake as above.
