Chocolate Crinkles

I made these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies during Christmas for my son’s class party along with MeltingMoments. Somehow got delayed in posting the recipe. Chocolate Crinkles are deliciously soft, fudge-like cookies that are covered in icing sugar. These cookies are rolled in powdered sugar before baking and the cookies expands during baking resulting in beautiful black and white crinkles or cracks! The original recipe contains vegetable oil, but I prefer to use melted butter instead. The dough is extremely sticky, thus it is very important to refrigerate the dough. Do try the recipe, I am sure you will enjoy it :)
