Chocolate Crinkles

I dont like Chocolate Crinkles, or at least the chocolate crinkles that is usually sold in local bakeries here. It has the look of a chocolate crinkles but tasted more like bread than a soft cookie. My sister on the other hand is used to the chocolate crinkles baked on the upscale restaurants she favored and begged me one afternoon to make some.

I hit the google search page for a recipe, found one from AllRecipes.com that called for oil instead of butter, wrote it down and gave it to her after showing her where everything is. She came bugging me again after two hours to help her roll the cookies. Two hours wasn't enough time to harden the batter but as it was already 4 in the afternoon, we had to work fast to get them in the oven before they turn too soft to hold the shape of a ball.

They were delicious, soft and decadent. The chocolate is very rich with just a hint of bitterness in each bite to counter the extra sweetness of the powdered sugar. This one is definitely my sister's recipe from now on but I'll definitely volunteer to help with the rolling next time.
