Chocolate Bites


Chocolate Bites:
1 1/4 cups of oil (canola works fine)
2 cups of sugar (I used sugar in the raw)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla
2 cups of flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder (I might have used a little more)
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt

I used oil instead of butter since butter costs a small fortune here.  I ignored the vanilla since it's only available at really expensive Western import stores.

I suspect these would be even better with chocolate chunks or melted chocolate drizzled over top, poured over it, or dusted with powdered sugar.

Trouble spots:  telling when it's done.  It goes from goo to gone pretty quickly.  You'll need to use your fingers to tell if they are setting.  Use a small ice cream scoop (or teaspoon) to drop onto a cookie sheet.  I always cover mine with parchment paper.  Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes until the edges begin to set.  The centers may crack slightly.  Don't be afraid to take them out even if they still feel like dough in the middle!  Enjoy!
