Chocolate Crackles

The first time I had these cookies I was a teenager. My mom made them and being the choco-holic that I was (and still am)....I loved them. My opinion hasn't changed one bit since then. A chocolate cookie...with chocolate chips...rolled in powdered sugar then baked until they are soft and chewy. What can get better than that, I ask? Not much!   


Chocolate Crackles   
  



Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper


2 ounces unsweetened baker's chocolate, melted
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips
powdered sugar

Cream oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Cream in chocolate. Add flour, salt, baking powder and chocolate chips. Chill 2 hours. Form into 1 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes or until set and tops crack open.

All you need for yummy chocolatey goodness.

 

Basically, mix it all up....

 

...plop the dough on a cookie

 sheet after it's chilled a bit...

 

...and you get this!! 

Minus the christmas tree.
