Cookies have long been a nemesis of mine – I’m looking to blame my old non fan oven on my constant problems and starting to attempt a few recipes now we have our shiny new fan oven! And these scrummy little snow capped mountain cookies were an awesome place to start. Easy peasy and exactly what I want in a cookie – I am going to be making these more than a few times in the near future – that’s for certain! Crunchy on the outside – one of my colleagues even refereed to them as deceptive little rocks lol – but soft and slightly gooey in the inside – total cookie success!
I took my inspiration from the gorgeous Miss Lily Pebbles for this recipe – so make sure you have a lookie over there too!
Serves 12
Save RecipeIngredients
- 40g Cocoa Powder
- 200g Brown Sugar
- 60ml Olive Oil ( You can use any oil, but I like the clean flavour from Olive )
- 2 Eggs
- 125g Plain Flour
- 1tsp Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 30g of Icing Sugar
Method
- Mix your Cocoa Powder, Brown Sugar and Olive Oil till combined - following with one egg at a time.
- Stir in the Plain Flour, Pinch of Salt and Baking Powder.
- Preheat the oven to 180c
- If your mix seems stable, you can start to roll your balls, otherwise you may want to chill for a short time.
- Roll mix into roughly table tennis ball size rounds - larger balls make larger cookies, this part is really up to you!
- Prepare your icing sugar by spreading it on a plate - then roll the balls of mix until each one os cover.
- Place the little balls of icing sugar covered mixture onto a lined baking tray, and gently press down. Only a little mind you, don't sqidge them! Make sure they are a few cm apart, as they do spread.
- Bake for 10 mins.
- Allow to cool slightly, before devouring at once! Or move to a cooling rack for later........ (as if! )
