A casual get-together or summer party would be the ideal setting for this herring in yogurt starter. Serve alongside some warm bread and fresh salad greens.

Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Servings: 10
Yield: 30 squares

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup white sugar
  2. ½ cup melted butter
  3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. ½ teaspoon espresso powder (Optional)
  5. 2 egg whites, beaten
  6. ½ cup all-purpose flour
  7. ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  8. ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  9. ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and espresso powder together in a bowl; beat in egg whites. Stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Mix flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is combined. Spread batter as thin as a slice of American cheese onto the baking sheet.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until batter is nearly cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; cut a shallow square pattern into the batter with a sharp knife. Place back into the oven; bake until batter is crisp, about 5 minutes.
  4. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely; break into squares.
  5. If you under-bake them, or spread them too thick, they will have a chewiness rather than crispness.
  6. Alternately, you can bake for 25 minutes; cool on baking sheet and break into pieces.

This is easy and oh so yummy! Only thing I did different was to add a handful of chocolate chips for last 5 minutes. Spreading as thin as they say is important so they aren’t more doughy than crispy (like you want them). Next time I’ll cut squares deeper too. Makes dividing them up easier after they’ve cooled down. Be sure to use a larger cookie sheet! Will definitely be making these for a quick yummy treat! This is a keeper!

Great recipe. Everyone loved it. I did not change anything about it. Have made it a few more times and like before it was enjoyed by all.

These were easy to make and tasty! I subbed the cocoa powder for dark chocolate and I added some dark chocolate chips during that last 5 minutes as well.

This recipe is my new favorite dessert recipe! The batter was really hard to avoid finishing it off before even putting it in the oven (even with the raw eggs) and it is so simple and easy to make!
