Holiday Baking #8: Brownie Crackles

When I started this goody-a-day posting, I knew that it was going to be a challenge.  Even with having a daughter that loves to bake and a  stockpile of goody recipes/pictures from the last few months, I still was pretty sure than 31 goodies in one month would probably do me in....or rather make my waistline go out.   That's where my awesome friends came in.  I thought about asking other food bloggers to guest post, but thought that everyone would be busy with their own holiday posting.  So instead I asked some of my baking friends I know in real life.  I wasn't sure how people would react when I asked them, but it turned out that most of them were quite excited to have a chance to share one of their special recipes with the world.   Turned out to be a good thing for both of us...can't beat that!  


And with that, here's my first guest poster....Bonnie!

BROWNIE CRACKLES
Posted by Bonnie M.

Ingredients:
1 pkg. fudge brownie mix (13x9-inch pan size)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup canola oil
confectioner's sugar and/or sprinkles
Directions:
In a large bowl, stir together the dry brownie mix and the flour.
Add the egg, water and oil. Mix all until well blended.
Place confectioner's sugar and other sprinkles in small, shallow bowls.
Drop dough by tablespoons or small cookie dough scooper into sugar (or sprinkles) to coat.
Roll into balls and place 2-inches apart on greased or parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 min. or until set.
Remove from oven and gently push a peppermint kiss into the center of each. Let set for a couple of minutes then remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Makes about 3 dozen. (Experiment and use different flavors of kisses. I rolled some of the dough balls in confectioner's sugar, some in green & white sprinkles, and some in red & white peppermint sprinkles.)


Enjoy!
