Chocolate crinkle cookies: A recipe for procrastination.

 

I had a lot of reading to do today. So I baked instead.

These chocolate crinkle cookies are super easy to make. And they're quite tasty, too. What more could you want?

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup powered (icing) sugar
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 whole eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
   

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (about 175 C).

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl, about 3 minutes.

Add first egg and beat until smooth. Add second egg and vanilla and beat again.

Add dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Roll dough into small balls. Cover each in powdered sugar.

Place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. 

Bake 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven.

Cool for 10 minutes before eating. 

(Or you can be like me and wait like 2 minutes before needing to try one three.)
   

And that's it! Go forth and bake, my friends.
