Da, danas dijelim recept za kolačiće kojih je internet pun i za koje recept lako možete naći na bezbroj domaćih i stranih gastro portala, blogova i foruma. Da, baš ti čokoladni raspucanci dobili su sada mjesto i ovdje, možda ih "otkrije" netko tko ih je, poput mene, dugo i uspješno ignorirao. Prvi put sam ih pravila prošle godine i bili su naš blagdanski hit a recept sam stavila na večernjakov blog. Viđala sam ih zadnjih godina, slušala i čitala hvalospjeve na njihov račun, ali nekako nisu me dodirnuli, nisu me dovoljno cimnuli da ih i napravim. Do prije godinu dana, baš nekako u ovo vrijeme. Tada sam pregledavala neke stare recepte, naišla na Tanjine raspukliće i zastala na njima. Već po sastojcima za pripremu ovih raspucanaca znala sam da bi to mogli biti kolačići koje će V. voljeti, pa sam odmah napravila duplu mjeru smjese. O, da! V. im se poprilično posvetio :lol udarnički je navalio na keksiće i znala sam da ću ih do Božića barem još jednom peći. Duplu mjeru, naravno ;) Ovo je idealan izbor za sve čokoholike! :))) Sastojci: (za oko 50 kolačića) 200 g tamne čokolade 50 g maslaca 2 jaja 100 g smeđeg šećera 1 žličica arome vanilije 200 g brašna (u Tanjinom receptu stoji glatko a ja sam pomiješala glatko i oštro) 1/2 žličice praška za pecivo prstohvat soli malo kardamoma u prahu (ovo je samo opcija) šećer i šećer u prahu za valjanje kuglica Priprema: Na pari otopite čokoladu i maslac.Ostavite da se malo ohladi. Pomiješajte u jednoj zdjeli brašno, prašak za pecivo, kardamom i prstohvat soli. U drugoj zdjeli izmiksajte jaja i šećer, dodajte vaniliju i polako ručno miješajući dodajte čokoladu s maslacem i brašno sa suhim sastojcima. Dobro promiješajte smjesu pa zdjelu pokritjte prozirnom folijom i ostavite u hladnjaku 3-4 sata. Isprva će smjesa biti jako mekana ali hlađenjem se stisne. Lim obložite papirom za pečenje. Od ohlađene smjese oblikujte kuglice (možete ih vaditi žlicom ili smjesu izvaljajte u valjak i režite na manje komadiće pa dlanovima brzo oblikujte kuglice). Kuglice uvaljajte prvo u kristal šećer a zatim u šećer u prahu. Složite kuglice u lim za pečenje pazeći na razmak. Stavite u zagrijanu pećnicu i pecite 10ak minuta na 180°C. Keksi se trebaju raspucati a u sredini ostati mekani. Kada se ohlade stegnut će se. ispis recepta Napomena: Smjesu možete napraviti dan ranije i ostaviti da se hladi preko noći. Smjesa će se tada jako stegnuti pa je prije formiranja u kuglice ostavite da se malo opusti na sobnoj temperaturi. Kolačići od takve smjese bit će tvrđi od onih koji su se hladili samo par sati ;)

This bread is just so good, more like a coffee cake than a bread. I didn't have bread flour, so used regular unbleached, all-purpose flour and took it out about 3 minutes before the beeper because I like a less-crispy crust. Well, what a treat. Major keeper. Not only would I make it again, I think it would make some of the most awesome cinnamon roll dough, and I'm definitely going to try that very soon. I would also suggest using this bread to make Cinnamon Toast Deluxe, recipe #93128. A definite cinnamon extravaganza, and a wonderful treat, especially for those of you who are looking for a stronger cinnamon flavor.
