Cookies For Your Sweetheart…

For Valentine’s Day, I do like to make my boys and husband a sweet treat to celebrate after dinner. So, this year I’m sharing with you, my family’s favorite chocolate fudge crinkle cookies! They have become tradition, and I make them every year and only once a year because they are just too delicious to have around more than once a year … or at least that’s what my waistline likes to whisper to me! These cookies are also quick and easy… Which is a requirement in my kitchen! You only need four, yes, FOUR, ingredients to make them.

Ingredients:

  • One box of chocolate cake mix
  • Two eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • Powered sugar

Directions:

  • Mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil, by hand in a large bowl.
  • Allow to sit for a few mins.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In another bowl, add powdered sugar.
  • Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces.
  • Roll dough into equal sized balls.
  • One by one drop into the powdered sugar coating completely and shaking off any excess sugar.
  • Spread them out evenly on your baking sheet.
  • I do six at a time to give ample space so they don’t touch.
  • Bake for 8-10 mins.
  • You want the center to still be soft. Let cool on the pan for 3 mins, the center will still keep cooking but the edges will harden.
  • Remove to rack to finish cooling.

Voila! Yummy, chocolatey, mouth watering crinkle cookies! Serve with a cold glass of your favorite milk, or be like me and serve with a cup of coffee! We hope you have a Happy (& Sweet) Valentine’s Day!
