Cookie-a-day: Chocolate Crinkles or Black and Whites

Heather says:

As you can tell this fun little cookie has several names. They also go by krinkles, and kringles. Soft and chocolatey the powdered sugar adds a nice counterpoint, both with color and taste. It makes an attractive addition to your holiday baking.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Hershey’s Special Dark, richer taste without a gourmet price)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 6-oz. bag semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
• confectioners sugar to taste (1/2 - 1 cup)

Directions after the jump.
