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!

Would make this again.
These cookies were really delicious and easy to make. They really do have to be refrigerated for awhile. My chocoholic daughter pronounced them the best cookie I have made. five stars

I made these with the help of my boyfriend's 5 year old daughter this past weekend. We had a great time making them (I rolled them into balls, she rolled the balls in the powdered sugar). They came out great! I did adjust for high altitude by adding a 1/2 teaspoon more baking powder. five stars

These have a nice crinkle on top. But, don't overbake as they will become little bricks. Keep the size relatively small or they lose the dainty look. four stars
