Chocolate Crinkles - Feast Your Eyes

by Alexa Weibel, Posted Dec 4th 2009 @ 10:00AM

Thanksgiving is over and the holidays have descended upon us once again, which generally entails a hectic month of harried gift shopping, family gatherings, a frenzy of social obligations, and a few cherished small pleasures, namely: holiday baking. Granted, that too may be a stressful undertaking -- where does one find the time for all the grocery shopping, baking and cookie exchanges! -- but within one bite of a sublime cookie, holiday stress is bound to just crumble.

And these Chocolate Crinkles appear to be just the thing to unwind, with an oh-so-subtly-crunchy cracked crust, a soft, fluffy chocolate-y interior and a powdered sugar coating of snowy sweetness. Blogger Patricia from Brownies for Dinner confesses to have "spent two days with my lips dusted with tell-tale powdered sugar" with these delights -- and so can you, with her simple recipe.

And as luck would have it, today is National Cookie Day! Help other readers rejoice in the small pleasures and share your favorite cookie recipes, after the jump.

This is a quick cookie to make. Easy once you get the hang of them.

N0-Bake Fudge Cookies

Mix together and boil 2 minutes:

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup margarine or butter

(cooking time begins when boiling is rapid, sometimes I cook for 1 minute 40 seconds or so)

Take off the burner and add:

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup peanut butter - (I use Peter Pan as it isn't as thick as other brands)

3 cups minute oatmeal

Mix well. Drop by teaspoon (do this quickly if they are hardening fast) on wax paper.

Or you can spread them in a 9x9 pan. Cool. Then cut in squares.
