Cocoa Balls

Its been sometime that I have written..Its been ages..August and September have been mixed months for me and my family.With 3 funerals and one being so so unexpected.
Anyway I have been quite caught up with my parents being around here for Eid. This has been the first Eid ever that we have been away from the extended family. We missed the nutty things we do normally on Eid Day with my uncles and cousins, but it was an all new experience.I have written down some of the recipes that my mum make sand is trying out currently..

This is my personal favourite (since this is the first ever recipe I used for baking) and is liked by everyone at home.
Its called Cocoa Balls-


3 Oz Cocoa Powder
2 1/2 Cups Flour
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup chopped cashew nuts
1/2 lb butter
2 large eggs

METHOD

Beat margarine and sugar together, add the eggs, flour, cocoa, and lastly the nuts.

Chill this dough for 30mins (Chilling is required to prevent sticking)

Using bits of the chilled dough, form into small balls, roll the balls in granulated sugar,add top with half a cashew nut, and bake on greased pans, until done (Moderate Oven). I take it off when it is three quarter done!!!
Yield small balls – 100
