Chocolate Crinkles

Baking is one activity that I really look forward to at Christmas time.  I like to make family favorite cookie recipes and I enjoy trying new recipes. Today I’m sharing a new favorite, Chocolate Crinkles.

I found this recipe in a local cookbook written by a well known caterer, Maryanne Rhodes. 

The cookbook is only available locally and benefits the restoration of the Academy of Fine Arts Historic Theater. 

I have read this cookbook like it’s a novel and have marked many recipes to try.  I can only imagine the many Lynchburg parties where Marianne served Chocolate Crinkles.

The batter for this cookie must be refrigerated three hours before baking. 

Use a one tablespoon cookie scoop to make each cookie the same size. 

Toss each cookie in powdered sugar and place on a Silpat lined baking sheet. 

After the cookies bake for 10 – 11 minutes at 350 degrees, they develop an attractive crackled pattern.
