These chocolate crinkles are easy to make, but do require chilling the dough for several hours before forming into cookies and baking. They have a strong chocolate taste and a dramatic black and white appearance. One recipe makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies.

• 2 cups (480 ml) all purpose flour
• 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
• ½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
• 1 cup (240 ml) confectioners' sugar

Procedure

1. Mix oil, chocolate, and granulated sugar.
2. Blend in one egg at a time until well mixed. Add vanilla.
3. Stir flour, baking powder, and salt into chocolate mixture.
