Chocolate Crinkles

This is a family favorite. While I have made and eaten many of these types of cookies, this recipe by far is our favorite. The cookies come out nice and moist.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar


In a large bowl, mix together themelted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. In a medium-size bowl, stir together the four, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a large spoon to slowly add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture. Stir in the chips. Regrigerate the dough for two hours.


Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Form the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them in the confectioners' sugar. Bake the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet for 10 minutes. Set the baking sheet on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then lightly dust the cookies with the remaining confectioners' sugar. Transfer the cookies directly onto the rack to cool thoroughly. Makes 4 dozen.
