Chocolate Crinkles


Yummy chocolate cookie coated with powdered sugar. When it bakes, the cookie crackles all over, leaving dark brown cracks in the otherwise white cookie. Very pretty!

Makes about 72

1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioner's sugar

Stir together oil, chocolate and granulated sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until well
mixed. Add vanilla. Stir flour, baking powder, and salt into oil mixture. Chill several hours or overnight. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into confectioner's sugar. Roll in sugar; shape into balls. Place about 2" apart on greased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Don't overbake!

We love this cookie so is one our very favorites. Add a non-pareil in the middle of each cookie when you first take them out of the oven and cool thoroughly. This makes a little difference to this wonderful chocolate treat. Merry Christmas to all. five stars

This is an awesome cookie recipe. We have been making these for years in our family. We use Nestle pre-melted chocolate in ours instead of melting chocolate ourselves. It's much easier. five stars
