If you were lucky to have a mom like mine, you had freshly baked cookies a lot. These weren't my favorite (I'd probably rather have chocolate chip) but I think my mom loved these because she made them whenever she had a chocolate craving -- well, these or brownies. But these are practically brownies. In fact, I remember my mom making brownies and sifting powdered sugar over them. So, pretty much the same thing in cute, pretty roundish forms.I don't think this is the recipe my mom used though. Hers were more flat and fudgy. These are more puffy and cakey, but still, "crinkly".
Aren't they pretty? I got this recipe from the Joy of Baking. And yes, I totally ripped off their photo idea by photographing mine on the cooling rack too.
Would I eat them again? Yes.
Would I make them again? Yes.
Would I feed them to friends? Absolutely.
As the friend whom you fed your chocolate crinkle cookie to, they were wonderful, and I'm stealing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was then and am now still the beneficiary of a mom who loves to bake. Such delicious memories, eh? She still sends me cookies, brownies, etc. every once in awhile. :)
ReplyDeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteI just tried a different chocolate chip recipe from American's Test Kitchen (gasp! I never do that). So, so good. Let's do a cookie exchange soon.
those were next to the Reeses peanut butter cups.
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't choose wisely..
