I love the way Chocolate Crinkle Cookies crack when baking. They make a really good Christmas cookies with the powdered sugar and the chocolatey flavor. Add these to a plate with other cookies to share with friends and co-workers during the holidays and watch the smiles.

When my kids were young, I was baking a batch of cookies using this recipe. When I took them out of the oven the kids looked at them and exclaimed "they all broke!." Chocolate Crinkle Cookies became a favorite in my house no matter what time of year.
