DIRTY CHAI EARTHQUAKE COOKIES
In case you're wondering about the name of this cakey, chewy-edged cookie, which nearly explodes through its sugary crust, it's a nod to a coffee bar creation in which a shot of espresso tops off a cup of masala chai, the Indian spiced tea. It's right at home on a traditional holiday cookie plate, thanks to its festive cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves. Feel free to add a little freshly grated nutmeg, if you're so inclined. A strong coffee flavor adds nuance; black pepper lends a spicy kick; and malted milk powder, browned butter and brown sugar all contribute toasty warm notes to this craveable treat.

Steps:
- Put espresso or coffee in a small metal bowl. Put butter in a small saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat, swirling and stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until nutty brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the butter to the bowl with the espresso and stir to combine. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the cookie.
- Combine the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine thoroughly and set aside.
- Combine eggs and light brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well combined and slightly paler, about 3 minutes, scraping bowl as needed.
- Add the vanilla and the butter mixture, then mix on low speed until combined. Add the flour mixture, then mix again on low until combined. Transfer dough to a resealable glass or plastic container, and chill thoroughly, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar into two separate bowls. Use a small cookie scoop to portion dough into heaping tablespoons (about 25 grams each). Roll into smooth balls and drop a few at a time into the bowl of granulated sugar, rolling to coat. Transfer to the bowl with the confectioners' sugar. Roll gently, coating well, then transfer to a parchment- or silicone mat-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies. Place in freezer until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Bake until cookies are golden underneath but still quite tender (they will firm up as they cool), 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheets and transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.
EARTHQUAKE COOKIES
My family and friends expect me to bake them every year at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, and they get very upset with me when I don't. But baking them is fun, and they taste great! The recipe was initially printed in the Dallas Morning News (mid-70s) as part of a "Junior Chef" summer program for kids.

EARTHQUAKE COOKIES IN A JAR
Steps:
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, almond meal, and salt. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a stainless steel bowl over a pan of simmering water.
- In an electric mixer fitted with a whisk, whip together the eggs and sugar at high speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until they become fluffy. Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until incorporated. Add the dry ingredients slowly (better to take your bowl off the mixer for this part so flour doesn't fly around your kitchen) and mix until incorporated. Stir in the coffee, vanilla, and rum. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate for about an hour. It will become firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Put the granulated sugar in one bowl and the confectioners' sugar in a second bowl.
- Using a sturdy spoon, scoop the chilled dough into 1-inch scoops and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Roll each individual cookie between your hands until it is a smooth ball, dip in the bowl of granulated sugar, then in the bowl of confectioners' sugar, coating each one fully. Return them to the cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the sugar cracks and the cookies just start to firm up. (They are especially delicious with a little softness in the center.) Allow them to cool on a rack, then store airtight.
