Mint Chocolate Crinkles

Just a quick post for you because holy smokes, it's almost Christmas!

But if you have time to squeeze one more cookie in, please consider these.  Chocolate Crackles (or Crinkles as my mom always called them) are a soft, chewy, fudgy, brownie-esque cookie, rolled in powdered sugar.  They are pretty well known, a staple on my family's cookie tray, and super Christmasy.

Powdered Sugar Cookies

I'm sure we all have certain smells and tastes that remind us of our childhood Christmases.  For me...it's these cookies.  Yes, they are amazingly delicious.  Yes, they are a huge pain in the butt.  Yes, the dough is like the best cookie dough I've ever eaten.  Yes, you will hate decorating them by the end of it.

Even if you decorate a bunch to look exactly like your dog.

Which only a crazy person would do, right?

Do you see a likeness?
