Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

If you read my last post, you will already know about my baking get-together the other night. Here you will learn how to make the delicious Chocolate Crinkle Cookies from the recipe that Leah brought. I believe she said that she got the recipe from her fiance Adam's mother.

Ingredients:
1c cocoa powder
2c sugar
1/2c vegetable oil
4 eggs
2tsp vanilla
2c flour
2tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
1/2 c confectioners sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a mixer, combine the cocoa, sugar, and oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add to above mixture. (At this point the dough was kind of a weird texture, but don't worry- everything was better once it chilled).
4. Refrigerate 2-4 hours.
5. Roll the dough into 1" balls, then roll into powdered sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Not sure what the official recipe yield was, but we got 2 1/2 cookie sheets full.


The other delectable cookie in the photo above is a Double Coconut Macaroon. The recipe is found here.
