This is another recipe from Mrs. Fields, but I've seen similar ones under other names -- Snow on the Mountains comes to mind as one I've seen in another book. These cookies are so fantab that hub doesn't like to share at all! ;)

As before, there are some very minor adjustments that just make the ingredients a bit more specific to what I've used and works best for me. And a warning: these are messy to make! ;)


2 c. Granulated Sugar
1/2 c. Canola Oil*
4 oz. Unsweetened Chocolate, melted & cooled**
2 tsp. Vanilla
4 Extra Large Eggs*
2 c. All-Purpose Flour
2 tsps. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
Powdered Sugar

** To melt baking chocolate squares if you don't have a double boiler: fill a saucepan about halfway or so with water and place squares in a small skillet that can rest easily on the pan without falling in. Place on stove and bring water to a boil, moving the chocolate around in the saucepan frequently to avoid burning. Chocolate should melt nicely.


Mix granulated sugar, oil, chocolate, and vanilla. Mis in eggs one at a time. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.

Heat oven to 350. Take dough by rounded teaspoonfuls and roll into balls then drop into powdered sugar and roll until completely covered. Place about 2" apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until almost no indention remains when touched.


* Actual recipe calls for any vegetable oil, but we prefer canola for everything. As with the previous recipe, we've had better results with the extra large eggs.

DO NOT make more than one batch at a time of these. I've burned out my mixer when doing so. ;)
