I would watch as she added four or five cookies on the plate of assorted treats she gave to neighbors, friends and family, sometimes sliding my hand to grab one and run into another room to savor that chocolaty taste. Even now, it takes me back to my childhood home and the image of our silver sparkling Christmas tree with red bulbs and red bows.
From my family to yours, enjoy this snowy chocolaty cookie wonderland. Bring out the cookies and some hot chocolate, listen to Christmas music and watch the lights dance around ...
Chocolate Crinkles
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 ounces melted unsweetened chocolate, slightly cooled
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered (confectioners) sugar
Instructions:
- Oven Temperature: 375 degrees
- Baking Time: 12-15 minutes
- Makes: Approximately 40 cookies
Combine chocolate, oil and sugar in mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time and beat well into the chocolate mixture. Add vanilla and salt; blend into mixture.
Sift the flour with baking powder and stir into the chocolate/egg mixture. Without over beating, make sure all the ingredients have been fully incorporated. Set and aside and chill the dough for 2 hours, or until well chilled.
After the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
Place the powdered sugar into a bowl; set aside. Roll the dough into small balls about 1-inch in diameter. Completely dip each ball into the powdered sugar until well covered. Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake.
Remove from oven; set pans on wire racks to cool for 2 minutes. Remove cookies and place on wire racks to completely cool. Cool and store. These cookies can be frozen after baked.
