Chocolate Chanukkah Cookies
This recipe comes from the mother of a friend of mine that
makes these cookies every year. They are lower in fat than
more traditional cookies are always quickly gobbled up. I
like using Star of David cutters, but gelt or dreidel cutters
also work great. These cookies can also be frosted with royal
icing or glazed.
1/4 cup prune butter
1 cup sugar
egg substitute equivalent to 2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
powdered sugar
Beat the prune butter, sugar, and egg substitute in a large
bowl until light and fluffy. In a small bowl whisk together
the flour, cocoa, baking powder,
baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture
and beat until well blended. Cover tightly and chill for 2
hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Turn the dough out
onto a lightly floured surface and roll 1/8 inch thick. Cut
with star cookie cutters and place 2 inches apart on ungreased
cookie sheets. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, or until firm. Cookies
should not brown. Cool for one minute on the sheets and then
carefully place on wire racks. Lightly dust the cookies with
powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container.
