[@karenbalkaranali4739]

This is so unusual,but awesome at the same time

[@SugarSpunRun]

They were definitely different! Fun to make!

[@hanavan1865]

Loving all your recipes. Sad stand mixer I love you. You don’t disappoint.

[@chastityraggs1453]

When I first saw these, I immediately thought about Oreo cookies, just not in a sandwich form... Great idea!!! Thank you Sam!!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! :)

[@pysankar]

I thought about horse droppings when I first saw the thumbnail.

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣

[@katie7748]

​@@pysankar My first thought was a flashback to when I was a girl and thought sneak-eating an entire package of Thin Mints was a good idea. Horrid stomachache and the *blackest* poo ever!!!!

[@katie7748]

​@pysankar Oh and TMI the forever and a day wiping of tar off my poor rear hahaha I learned my lesson!

[@Shelley-m6b]

They look like a better version of Oreo Cakesters 😋

[@annalockwood3021]

I made these to share at a Christmas party. They are delicious, but the portion size is quite large. Yummy as a treat on its own, but maybe too much for a potluck with tons of nibbles. More than one person saved the other half for later. So tasty!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm glad they were overall a hit! :)

[@kellyr6274]

I made a similar cookie sans filling many years ago with the black cocoa. When my family came for brunch I'd always put cookie trays out on the tables. At first glance, some of them thought I'd burnt cookies😂. I'll have to try these with the filling, thanks Sam 🤗

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣🤣 I hope you love these! 😊

[@Susan-cooks]

I've been looking for a cookie recipe that uses black cocoa powder. I bought it while visiting a bulk food store run by the Amish, my favorite place to buy baking supplies! I'm going to try this one since "gourmet Oreos" sounds delicious. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Sam!

[@Marge411]

I'm making these for Christmas! They look amazing, like all of your recipes!🎄🍪

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! :)

[@BuddyDanger]

@@SugarSpunRunyou are truly AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@beanie7547]

This is perfect for a Christmas party. Each year for Halloween we let kids choose a trick or treat bowl which the trick is full of not the best option. For the Christmas party I may make these for kids to tell us if they’ve been naughty or nice. If naughty they will get these. Just perfect timing.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I love the idea! :)

[@Stephanie-cq8mf]

These are a cute idea. I wish I had your patience of all that in and out of the fridge and freezer.

[@SugarSpunRun]

It's definitely an investment of time, but I think the final product is so worth it!

[@Billy33753]

Looks delicious

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you 😋

[@mothertwinkles4198]

Great idea

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thanks! they were fun!

[@regeniacooper6589]

Amazing, thank you! 🥰

[@jessicacannon7330]

I'm going to make these for sure. If u need me to use that stand mixer for u if can suffer through😅😂😊

[@Cre8tiveOne66]

Sugar Spun, could you do a no-bake cheesecake video please?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Already done! Enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJaTanaDlKxlh9Usi=gqSW1YseKEU5m3k-

[@francesmorgan6397]

These sounds delicious 😋😋 they would b fun.

[@Cre8tiveOne66]

@@SugarSpunRun THANK YOU 😊.

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

Well, it looks like there will be no photos in your Christmas cards this year of the boys sporting mullets. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Otherwise, fantastic video!!! So, how about making this stylish hairstyle happen for Easter? 😉

[@backpackmatt]

I prefer to measure my cookies with an electric scale. Sorry but I'm a perfectionist. I like the idea of "Coal Cookies" though...the idea is very intriguing. 🐧🍎🍏💙

[@SugarSpunRun]

Weights are all listed in the description 🙂

[@backpackmatt]

​@@SugarSpunRunAwesome! I just finished a Strawberry Cake, so I'll write this recipe down for profundity. 🐧🍎🍏💙🌲 #merrychristmas

[@oriffel]

will white bread flour work as a substitute for cake flour?

[@lamemechose7072]

Cake flour is much lower in protein than AP and bread flour is much higher than AP. They will almost never be interchangeable. In some applications, you can sub straight AP for cake flour. In others, you can do mostly AP with a bit of cornflour/cornstarch. Her blog should have specifics for each recipe. But again, cake and bread flours are VERY different!

[@ShadowmarkReturns]

Shouldn't you use cream of tartar to neutralize the extreme alkaline of black Cocoa?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Nope! Not necessary for this recipe :)

[@ShadowmarkReturns]

@SugarSpunRun Makes sense, thanks!

[@djyoutubeh3]

You eat chip ahoy Sam?🍪🍪🍪😀😃

[@sjenkins1057]

How do you test and [publish so many recipes so fast?????

[@SugarSpunRun]

I aim for 2 new recipes a week, sometimes 3 during the holidays. It's a LOT of work, especially since it usually takes many, many tries to get a recipe right and then I still have to make it multiple times after that to make sure it's *perfect* and then photograph and film it, too. Fortunately two of my sisters help me in my kitchen and I have an awesome video editor, along with other help! But it is a lot, I eat/sleep/breathe dessert. I also work ahead to make sure i have things ready.

[@sjenkins1057]

@@SugarSpunRun Now we need a video with all the sisters! :-)

[@bossmom3902]

Could I not use black cocoa?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Should work ok, just maybe a bit more dry (so more work to mix together) and they look more like manure than coal

[@bossmom3902]

@ 🤣 not sure which would be worse to get coal or manure! 😭☠️

[@CharleneDulmage]

I cannot get black cocoa locally, can I use some black food colour?

[@lamemechose7072]

It available at lots of places online (I live just outside a major city and can’t get it outside city limits🤦‍♀️). But black cocoa isn’t regular cocoa dyed black. It’s a different thing. Think white vs brown sugar: a different thing altogether, not just a color difference. She may have a workaround on the blog that’s been vetted. But definitely don’t dye regular cocoa.

[@TortaCakes]

What mixer is that?

[@SugarSpunRun]

It's made by Breville. I like it a lot!

[@christinebrown9343]

Where can I find black Coco powder?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I buy mine on Amazon, there’s a link in the description :)
