Fudgy Chocolate Crinkles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups flour
confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325.
Melt butter and chocolate chips together in a saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave, until the butter melts.
Remove from heat and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
In the bowl of a mixer, beat together the sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Stir in the chocolate mixture.
Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt.
Chill the dough for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Pour approximately a cup of confectioners sugar into a shallow bowl.
Roll 1 1/4 inch diameter balls of dough (a heaping teaspoon) and drop the balls into the bowl of confectioners sugar.
Working with 4-5 at a time, shake the bowl until the balls are completely coated and place them on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Leave about 1 1/2 inches between balls.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
The cookies will flatten out and the surface will crack.
Cool on wire racks.
After the cookies have cooled, I like to shake a little extra sugar on top using a sifter or a small strainer.
