I've taken the liberty of translating this recipe. This is a really good pastry that is very easy to make. The units is in metric because I don't know the other one. Black ball cookies: 75 grams of butter 1.5 decilitre sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar 4 decilitre rolled oats 2 tablespoons of cacao 3 tablespoons of strong cold coffee Mix everything together, when it's a dough, simply make balls, then roll the balls in pearl sugar. No cooking is required and it's a great tasting pastry to eat with your coffee. ------ Another similar pastry is the rice balls: Here is the translated recipe: 100 gram butter 1 decilitre sugar 2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar 2 decilitre of rolled oats 2 decilitre puff rice Simply mix the ingredients, add half of the puff rice to the mix, then make a dough. Make balls and roll the balls in the rest of the puff rice. --- I don't know if you have all ingredients where you happen to be, but if you do I highly recommend making some black balls or rice balls, they are delicious. If anyone wants to change the units so Americans and Liberians can understand I welcome it. Edit: Ok, I see the name was changed, it's understandable since it's an offensive word. Anyhow, if you are going to search for the pastry they are called "n-word balls"
metric !!!!!!!!! lol (I will have my son to help me there. Alright I will tell you I had to 'do a search' on some of the ingredients cacao - Chocolate/cocoa vanilla sugar - found a recipe, on how to make ... :2thumb: pearl sugar - not sure where I can find it ... but I'll see what I can work out. Thanks for the recipes ...
I :google: and found a recipe. Blah Blah Blog: November 2008 about half way down she gives the recipe with cup conversion. 3 1/4 c oats 1 1/4 c sugar 6 T cocoa (unsweetened powder) 1 t vanilla 2/3 c softened butter 6 T cold coffee I am going to make some tonight. I'll let you know how they turn out. ETA:mixed and chilling in the 'fridge. Yummy so far.
YUMMY!! We call them "no-bake" cookies. My mom and her mom made them when we were growing up. Now I make them. I don't do the coffee part. I add about 1/4 cup of shredded coconut. Haven't made any for quite awhile. I just might have to do that tonight.
I made them and they were wonderful. I did increase the cocoa to 1/2 cup. I was in desperate need of a chocolate fix. We are not real big on coconut here, so I rolled half of them in more cocoa and the other half in powdered sugar. I am going to make these at Christmas. I am think of doing an adult version using homemade coffee liqueur instead of the coffee.
