I like the batter better

Really yummy cookies. I just made a double batch of these, half for a friend's bridal shower, and half for my new niece's kiddush this Shabbos. These cookies are best if put into the freezer after they cool off, which helps keep the shape. Take them out when you are ready to serve. Sorry no pictures. Enjoy!

(Oh, the batter is kind of like brownie batter, and since I really like cookie dough, it tastes good to sneak a bit before I shape them into cookies. Not recommending it, just explaining the title.)

P.S. The shower is over and I got many compliments on the cookies. They are really good and easy to make. Be prepared to make a double batch, they go fast.


Cocoa Crinkles

3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup baking cocoa
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Mix oil and cocoa until well blended. Stir in sugar. Add eggs one at a time, stir until well blended. Add vanilla. Stir flour baking powder and salt into mixture. Chill several hours or overnight. Heat oven to 350. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into confectioners sugar. Roll and shape into balls. Bake 10-12 minutes. Dont over bake.

This makes maybe a few dozen. Not sure.

  3. Thanks!

    I had time before shabbat so I made these for dessert and they're delicious! I added some chocolate chips and as I was making them my father suggested adding some walnuts and they were a big hit.

  4. :) Yay! Glad to hear you enjoyed them. Thanks for letting me know. Interesting twist, I never would have thought to add nuts.
