Monster Chocolate Chip Mandelbrot Sticks


Ingredients
1 cup corn oil
11/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour (or more, if necessary)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
11/4 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
1 egg, whisked for eggwash
Granulated sugar for dusting


Preparation

1. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet or two smaller ones with parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, blend oil and sugars, then eggs, vanilla, salt, flour, baking powder and soda to make a thick batter. Fold in chocolate morsels (using your hands if  batter is too stiff). Let dough rest ten minutes.

3. If batter is too soft, add extra flour to achieve a stiff consistency. Flour a work surface liberally. Divide dough into 14 sections and roll each into a log about 6" to 8" long and 1" wide or round. Place on prepared baking sheet. Whisk egg and brush each cookie with eggwash and then dust with sugar.

4. Bake until hard and golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

did you know
A 2005 study based at Tufts University in Medford, MA found that dark chocolate actually helps to lower blood pressure. In a controlled experiment comparing 20 different people, researchers found that dark chocolate was a significant factor in lowering blood pressure, while white chocolate was not. The key ingredient thought to cause this phenomenon is flavonoids.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.

How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.

If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
