Chocolate Crinkles
This recipe, along with many that we made this Christmas, comes from Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book, published in 1963. They were good but I would probably try other recipes just to see if I liked the texture better on another recipe. Other people in my family liked them much more than I did so it is probably just a preference thing. It is a classic recipe with a great star rating so I’m chalking this one up to just me being weird about the texture of my cookies. Enjoy!
