Crackle Cookie Perfection!
Here's another great recipe I found over winter break. Roll double chocolate cookie dough in a thick layer of snow-white confectioner's sugar and they pop out of the oven with a crispy, sweet crust and chewy, fudge-y inside. Not to mention a pretty stunning crackle-y look that is sure to win over friends and family. The holidays may be over, but cookie baking parties never have to end!

Note in the recipe that they omitted the added chocolate chips. After baking four batches these cookies with and without added chocolate, I personally found the batches WITH added chocolate made a much needed difference. The cookies taste richer and the small pockets of melted chocolate hidden in the cookie are a pleasant surprise. Also, make sure to thoroughly refrigerate the dough before rolling in confectioner's sugar, or else the cookies are more likely to flatten out while baking instead of forming a nice dome-like shape.
Best of all, these cookies are ridiculously simple to make. Egg, butter, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, leavening and you have a lovely cookie!

Did you fridge your dough?! If not, it may be difficult to handle. Thoroughly coat 1-inch dough balls with powdered sugar. The more sugar, the greater the crackle effect!
These are best eaten warm with a cold glass of milk!
They are also PERFECT as gifts ( I know, too bad I didn't post this before break, when people needed teacher gift ideas and holiday treats...) Whenever the season, make someone's day with a cute cookie gift. Place 6-8 cookies in cellophane bags and tie with a cute bow!
