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.
Welcome to Day 3 of Christmas Week. This annual event was started in 2012, and is hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic. This year we have over 35 bloggers sharing festive sweet recipes for the event.
Ok back to these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies.

I use a melon baller when scooping out the dough. It gives me the teaspoon size amount of dough I need and I like the long handle.
