Chocolate crinkle cookies is a good year round cookie. It’s one of our Christmas favorites mostly because of the chocolate and powdered sugar combination, but also because they’re easy to make. A perfect combination, if you ask me.
This particular recipe is a Betty Crocker recipe. Just mix together the ingredients, and then chill for a couple of hours. This will help the dough remain a little on the firm side while you form balls and roll them in powdered sugar.
I use a cookie scoop to help shape the dough, and so that I get an equal amount each time. Place the dough on parchment-lined cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool, then eat.
