I wanted a chocolate cookie to top with ice cream and always had this recipe sitting in my recipe box. I have to say, this is like a brownie in cookie form and it is so good with a small scoop of ice cream on top of it! I had one by itself and it was so fudgy and delicious! I melted the chocolate on defrost mode in the microwave (keep an eye on it!) and whisked it smooth and immediately started to make the recipe. I stuck the batter in the freezer for about an hour and made them into small balls. I did not flatten them, they flattened out themselves while baking forming these beautiful crackles all over the cookie from the powdered sugar. They smelt so good when they came out the oven and tasted even better! Thank for posting.

These cookies are so good and would be great for the holiday gift trays. I plan to make them again during the holidays!

This has been my crinkle recipe for the past several years. These are tasty as can be, and very pretty! One thing to remember is to generously coat the dough ball in powdered sugar. Cover it well enough that you can't see any dough through it. Pack it on. Then when you put in on the sheet, flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. This makes for prettier cookies. I've never greased the sheets, since they are so covered in powdered sugar. My preference is a soft cookie, so bake 8-10 minutes only.
