It pales in comparison to the elaborate cookie baskets we made when I was little, sometimes we'd make a dozen varieties to give out. It was pretty chaotic.
This year my dad and I decided to just make three. (He's handling the sugar cookies.)
I had to track down a recipe online for Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, because I couldn't find our family recipe. Luckily these tasted exactly the same as I remember them growing up.
The cookies taste like little brownie bites. When I make them again I think I'll add walnuts.
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
Combine cocoa powder, sugar, and vegetable oil.
Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract.
In another bowl mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Add to the wet mixture. (The dough should be pretty thick.)
Chill the dough for 3-4 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Scoop out tablespoon sized pieces of dough, roll into balls. Roll in powdered sugar.
Place on a greased baking about an inch apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Let cool and enjoy.
