Chocolate Crinkles
in the early morning on Thursday, the 8th of December 2005 by Anarchy
About a year ago, I posted a cookie recipe called Grandmom Lucy’s Orange Crispies. They’re good!
I’ve decided this is going to become a small tradition for the holiday season… so today, I’m posting the recipe for Chocolate Crinkles!
These are tasty too… but are going to require some prep time. As you’ll see in the recipe, refrigeration time is required. I’d recommend chilling the dough overnight. (Otherwise, it tends to stick to your fingers.)
OK…
Ingredients:
0.5 cup Shortening
1.67 cups Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla
2 oz Unsweetened Chocolate, melted
2 Large Eggs
2 cup Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
0.5 tsp Salt
0.33 cup Milk
Confectioner’s Sugar
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a larger bowl, thoroughly cream shortening, sugar, and vanilla.
Beat in the eggs, then the melted chocolate.
Stir in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk.
Chill the mixture for a minimum of 3 hours (overnight is recommended).
Pre-heat oven to 350°.
Form dough into 1 balls, and roll in the Confectioner’s Sugar.
Place powdered balls on a greased cookie sheet 2 “ 3 inches apart.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Cool slightly before removing from the pan.

1.67 cups? sheesh, so technical… isn’t 1 2/3rd cups close enough?

I would have, but you’d be surprise at how many people get confused by that. I once posted a recipe on a forum that had “1 2/3 cup Flour”… and I got a couple of emails asking if the recipe was mis-typed. They couldn’t figure out if I had meant to type “12 cups” or “3 cups”. It sounds stupid… but it happened.
