Classic Chocolate Crinkles

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies My Grandmother Made

The original Chocolate Crinkle Cookie. This is the cookie your grandmomma made. Instead of reinventing the classic we kicked it old school and didn’t change a thing. When we bite into this cookie we wanted it to take us back to childhood.
