Cocoa Bombs
- 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup margarine, at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 3 ounces finely ground almonds (walnuts may also be used)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for topping (as needed)
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Beat butter, margarine and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in vanilla extract and water and blend thoroughly.
- Beat in cocoa.
- Slowly add flour and nuts and mix until completely incorporated.
- Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.
- Flatten balls slightly.
- Bake until cookies are set but not browned, about 8 minutes.
- Roll in powdered sugar while still warm. Do not skip this step.
- When cooled, roll in powdered sugar again (or sift powdered sugar over tops). Do not skip this step.
- Note: This type of cookie tends to be on the dry side. If you want it to be moister, try underbaking by 1-2 minutes.
