It wouldn't be christmas without them. These are SO good and chocolat-ly - a little piece of heaven coated with confectioner's sugar. Amy and I invoked the spirit of Aunt Gertrude and it REALLY worked. You might want to do that too if you're making these. If your unsure of the baking time, err on the side of slightly underdone.
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 1/3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
3 1/2 cups flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup walnuts
1 cup cholate bits
1 cup confectioners sugar to roll balls in
Preheat oven to 350
Mix together all ingredients except confectioners sugar. Chill at least 1 hour. Roll into 1" balls and coat thoroughly with confectioners sugar. Place 2" apart on baking sheet and bake 15 minutes.
**Note: I usually use a little mint OR mint chocolate chips when I make them. You don't want to go everboard with the mint, but it does add an extra dimension to the flavor. I don't usually put nuts in.
