How to Make Chocolate Snaps

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar, ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil, and ⅓ cup (80ml) molasses until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. The dough will be quite thick and dry.
  7. Add just enough water (or soy milk/milk) – about 2-4 tablespoons – to bring the dough together into a stiff, workable consistency.
  8. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 ½ inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Immediately transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
