We are baking Christmas cookies today! I'm going to share the recipes we're using.
Chocolate Crinkles are popular, and I previously shared a recipe for them using a cake mix. Well, we didn't have a cake mix today. I remember making them from scratch when I was a teen, so I searched my cookbooks until I found the recipe in a Betty Crocker Cooky Book. Here it is!
Chocolate Crinkles
1/2 c. oil (use melted coconut oil if you don't want vegetable oil)
4 oz. baking chocolate, melted
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. powdered sugar
Mix together oil, baking chocolate, and sugar until well mixed. Add eggs and vanilla and mix again. Sift dry ingredients together and add; mix well. Chill dough until firm, several hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll 1 Tbsp. of dough into a ball and drop into powdered sugar; roll the ball around until well covered with powdered sugar. Place balls about 2" apart on a GREASED cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies may look moist and soft, but do not overbake. Cool on a rack.
Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
Note: recipe is easily halved if you don't want 6 dozen.
