Cookbook Recipes
Title: Chocolate Crinkles
Author: Mary Ellen Gates (Jay's Daughter-in-law)
Ingredients: 1/2 c Vegetable Oil
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 c Granulated Sugar
4 Eggs
2 c Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Salt
1 c Confectioners Sugar
Method: Melt oil, chocolate, and granulated sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until mixed well. Add vanilla. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt and mix into chocolate mixture. Chill several hours or overnight. Heat oven to 350. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into confectioners sugar, roll in sugar and shape into balls. Place about 2 in. apart on greased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 min. Do not overbake.
Comments: I sometimes only bake for 8-10 min. They look gummy but continue baking as they cool.

THIS IS A FAVORITE OF OUR FAMILY. THEY ALWAYS ASK MARY ELLEN TO BRING THESE COOKIES TO OUR FAMILY GATHERINGS.
