Presenting......Cocoa Crackles!


This is a fun recipe to do with kiddos. They are pretty healthy too which is a definite plus. I got this recipe out of a cookbook Jubal got for his birthday. The book is called Yummy Cookies by Sesame Street.
If you are looking for something fun to do today with your kids, this is a great activity to try. What a fun way to bond with the little ones in your life.

Cocoa Crackles

3/4 Cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated or cane sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease to cookie sheets.
Stir together both flours, cocoa, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla until well blended. Add flour mixture and beat until blended.
Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll heaping tablespoons of the dough into balls. Roll balls of dough in the sugar until they are coated. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
Bake for abou11-13 minutes or until cookies are set. Cool cookies on sheets for a couple minutes and transfer to cooling rack.
