LUMPS OF COAL TREATS

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet or serving plate with wax paper -OR-Spray 8" square pan with cooking spray. Set aside. (Use the pan if you want to serve as bars instead of "lumps")
• Crush or process cookies into a fine powder.
• Over medium/low heat, melt butter and marshmallows in a saucepan until smooth.
• Remove from heat and stir in cookie crumbs. Mix well.

CHRISTMAS COAL CANDY

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Mix together the egg white, confectioners' sugar and cocoa in a bowl with a fork until smooth and very thick. (The mixture should hang on the fork in a blob without falling off.) Whisk in the vanilla and vinegar. Whisk in enough food coloring to turn the mixture a deep black color and the brown of the cocoa is no longer visible, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon.
• Combine the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Using a wet pastry brush, wipe down the sides of the pot where any sugar has clung to the side. Cook over medium heat until the mixture registers 258 to 260 degrees F on a candy thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the black mixture, stirring vigorously until smooth. Spread in the prepared pan and let harden and cool completely, about 2 hours.
• Lift the candy out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang as handles. Peel off the parchment and chip into small irregular-sized pieces using a chisel or a sturdy butter knife and rubber mallet.

LUMP OF COAL COOKIES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Mix well. I usually chill my dough in the refrigerator before rolling out, but it's not mandatory. Roll to desired thickness* and cut into desired shapes. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes** or just until beginning to turn brown around the edges. *I use THIS to achieve uniform thickness. I always use the spacer that makes the thickest(3/8-inch) cookie:) **My cookies seem to take about 15-18 minutes to bake. It may be because of their size, or my oven. Start timing on the low end because you can always add more time...just keep an eye on your cookies to achieve desired doneness. One last tip: If you are having a problem with your cookies holding their shape, it helps a lot if you put them in the freezer on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes before you bake them.

COAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; lightly grease 2 baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl cream together the butter, sugar, baking powder, espresso powder, vanilla and salt. Add the eggs, beating until smooth. Stir in the cocoa powder, then the flour; the dough will be stiff. Mix in the chocolate chips.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes. They will look not quite done in the center. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Gently squeeze and shape the cookies into uneven balls to resemble chunks of coal.
• Cookies stay fresh at room temperature no longer than a week. They may be frozen.
