This recipe was a big hit at Bella's Girl Scout meeting, and now I am sharing it with you. It's one of my favorites, especially around Christmas, which we all know is coming up!
Chocolate Crinkles
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 oz, unsweetened baking chocolate, melted (the microwave works well for this - directions should be on the back of the package)
4 eggs
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar
1. Mix sugar, oil, vanilla and chocolate in large bowl. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Drop small, slightly smaller than ping pong ball-size balls of dough by teaspoonfuls into powdered sugar, roll around to coat. Place about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or greased foil.
4. Bake 12 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched.

That's the recipe I used, with one exception. Here is a test for you. Read that recipe again and tell me, which is the most important sentence in the whole thing?
Did you catch it? I didn't. Here it is: Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Just what you don't want to see one hour before your daughter's troop meeting. Lucky for me, 1/2 hour in the freezer appears to approximately equal 3 hours in the fridge. So, if you're looking to save time...
This recipe was a big hit with the girls, and with the rest of my family when we got home!
