I love this recipe because there is olive oil in it and that was used for the nes of Chanukah! (You can always swap it with other oils.) Yields 3-4 dozen.
Submitted by Miriam Gross
2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup olive oil
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons coffee dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water (optional)
chocolate gelt coins (unwrapped)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
In a second bowl, combine olive oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and optional-coffee mixture.
Add dry ingredients to wet. Mix well.
Place ingredients in refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
Roll one tablespoon of chilled dough into ball and place on baking sheet, and repeat.
Bake for 15 minutes.
While cookies are warm (but not too hot that the chocolate gelt will melt) place the chocolate coin on top.
Most importantly, enjoy and eat it with the people you love!
