Devil's Food Cookies

If these devilishly chocolaty cookies don't get gobbled the day they are baked, store them, well-wrapped, in the freezer.


Ingredients


1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup prune puree

1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1/4 cup canola oil

2 large egg whites, lightly beaten

1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
 
 
2 dozen large cookies


Active Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes



Preparation


1.Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with nonstick cooking spray.

2.Whisk together sugar, prune puree, yogurt, oil and egg whites in a medium bowl. Stir together flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda and instant coffee in another medium bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon just until blended. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly. Transfer the cookies to wire racks and cool.
