Supervisor

Bailey has been enjoying the warm weather and her outside freedom. She's discovered bugs (she likes chasing them, patting them into the ground, and barking at them). I joke that she's trying to dig holes to China (maybe to Korea to see Nick). She supervised the first mowing of the lawn for the season and then draining of the pool cover. Once done she heads into the screened in porch, finds her bed and naps away in the sun. The good life.....

1 egg white
3/4 cup sugar1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to coffee mixture and mix well.

















Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness.

















Bake for 5-7 minutes or until center is set. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container. I drizzled some of them with a kaluha icing (3 tablespoons powdered sugar and 2 1/2 teaspoons kaluha).
Makes about 3-1/2 dozen.
