Chocolate Thins
Description
These Chocolate Thins are a nostalgic treat that combines rich unsweetened chocolate with finely chopped walnuts for a perfect balance of flavor and texture. The dough is baked into a thin, crisp layer that shatters slightly when bitten, offering a sophisticated chocolate experience without being overly heavy. They are incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few pantry staples like powdered sugar, flour, and salad oil. Ideal for serving alongside coffee or tea, these squares are also perfect for packing in lunchboxes or gifting to friends. Their simple elegance makes them a timeless classic for any occasion.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (unsifted), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Melt 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate and let it cool slightly.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 1/3 cup salad oil, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and the melted chocolate.
-
Mix with a spoon until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Spread the batter evenly into a thin layer in the prepared pan.
-
Sprinkle 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts evenly over the surface.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the top is set.

While still warm, cut into 2-1/2 inch squares using a sharp knife.

Allow the thins to cool completely in the pan before removing.
