December 4th: Today the cookie for my 25 days of Christmas Cookies is being dedicated to my daughter Bekah. Today is her birthday. She is one of the sweetest, loving, caring people I know. She has raised three AMAZING kids and has a growing business where she makes every one of her clients look beautiful at Salon 11 in Germantown. Bekah’s favorite Christmas Cookie is Chocolate Crinkles so here is the recipe for the cookies that Bekah has made her famous.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Also, 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
First: In a medium bowl, mix cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Next: In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; then stir into the cocoa mixture.
Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hours.
Start by Preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Now, Roll dough into one-inch balls.
Coat each ball with confectioners’ sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
Conclusion:
Enjoy Bekah’s favorite Chocolate Crinkles Christmas Cookie as much as we do. However, you will find they are kind of hard to put down and to move away from. Making them with the kids, letting them roll out the dough is always a good time for them. What if they are not all the same size. It is the memories that will stick in your mind when they are grown and moved away that matter the most not the size of the cookie ball.
