Chocolate Crinkles Christmas Cookies

We used to make these every year. Then we stopped for a while. A friend asked me for the recipe this year so I decided to bring them back for this year's trays. Easy recipe, pretty cookie and makes a ton, which is great for filling the trays.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup vegetable oil

4 sq unsweetened chocolate melted

2 cups granulated sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup confectioners' sugar


DIRECTIONS:
Mix oil, chocolate and granulated sugar.

Blend in one egg at a time until well mixed.

Add vanilla.

Stir in flour, baking powder and salt into oil mixture.

Chill several hours or overnight.



Heat oven to 350.

Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into confectioners' sugar.

Roll in sugar; shape into balls.

Place about 2" apart on greased baking sheet.



Bake 10-12 minutes.

Do not overbake.

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
