Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

As we head into winter, I wanted to post my Chocolate Crinkle Cookie recipe. I love to make these cookies on a snowy afternoon because the powdered sugar makes it look like snow. They are also amazing to serve with some home made hot chocolate. Yum!

These will melt in your mouth even after they’ve cooled. If you have a chocolate lover in your life, this is the perfect dessert to make for them. Enjoy!

TIPS

• You can also freeze this cookie dough to save for a later date.

• I recommend cooking 6 cookies on a small baking sheet or 10 cookies on a larger baking sheet. I use the Caraway baking sheets.

• You can use smaller or larger cookie dough balls. If you use smaller cookie dough balls, cook the cookies for a few minutes shorter. If you use larger cookie dough balls, bake the cookies for longer!
