These little cookies often make their appearance around Christmas. Then again, my boys love them all year round. Soft, moist and cakey - a combination of a cookie and bite sized brownie.
CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES
1 2/3 cup flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick (8 T) butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla. Add flour/cocoa mixture, mix until combined on low speed.
Form dough into tablespoon-size balls, roll each ball into the powdered sugar. Place on parchment lined cookie sheets about 2" apart. They will crack and puff, watch to not over bake.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes
