Mint Chocolate Crinkle Cooies

Okay, I slacked for a bit with Halloween and Thanksgiving, but I'm feeling a bit more myself and there's just too many cute and delicious things to bake for Christmas that I had to get baking.  I thought I'd start with something simple.  Mint chocolate crinkle cookies.



Here's what you need:

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup veg oil

4 eggs (room temp)

2 tea van extract

2 cups flour

2 tea baking powder

1/2 tea salt

powdered sugar

Here's what you do:

Mix together cocoa, sugar, and oil.

Beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir in vanilla.

Combine flour, baking powder, & salt.

Add to cocoa mixture.

Stir in chips.

Cover dough, refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Pre heat oven to 350.

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Roll dough into balls about 1"

Coat each ball in powdered sugar

Bake approx 8 min

You want the cookies to be a bit gooey still when you pull them out.  Let the cookies cool completely and they will be like a brownie.  I over baked mine a bit the first time, but everyone at my boyfriend's office still loved them, so you really can't go wrong, but I prefer mine a bit more brownie-like, less cake like.
