Chocolate Crinkle Cookie Recipe

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min., stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Add brown sugar; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Add flour mixture; mix well.

2. Step 2

   Refrigerate 30 min. or until dough is firm enough to easily handle.

3. Step 3

   Heat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 54 (1-inch) balls; roll in powdered sugar until evenly coated. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets.

4. Step 4

   Bake 9 to 11 min. or until centers are set. Cool 1 min. on baking sheets. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

   Note: A level measuring tablespoon of dough will give you evenly sized 1-inch balls. If the dough becomes sticky, return dough to refrigerator.
