Chocolate Crinkles

I love these. They are nice and dark and not too sweet and perfect with ice cold milk! Yummy!

Those do look delicious. I can't stand anything coffee-tasting, though. Do you think they would taste okay if I just omitted the espresso?

Thanks LoLa! I love these cookies....

I have a question also...

I don't have coconut oil. Should I get some? Does it make these taste even better? I believe Trader Joe's sells it reasonably and would be glad to get some if you think it is the best choice for these cookies?

TIA!!

These look really yummy-thanks for posting. I've seen similar chocolate crinkle cookies for years and I always say I'm going to make them and I haven't yet--this is the nudge I need.

Hi dobiesrule... You're very welcome!

Hi tigriss... Yes, perfect for just that!

Hi santorini.... Yes, I think if you let it out, you'd still love these. Espresso powder just enhances the chocolate flavor.

Hi Respect Life.... You're welcome! The original recipe called for vegetable oil. I first made them with that and (honestly) they were delicious exactly as the recipe was written. So feel free to use canola or vegetable oil.

Hi glmama... You are so welcome! Yeah, I always seem to be in a cookie 'rut' this time of year and these lil'darlins hit the spot!

Have a great day everyone,

These were always a Christmas staple at our house when I was growing up.

I do remember the recipe my mom had (different from the one above) called for a specific brand of flour. One year she used a different brand and the cookies didn't turn out the same at all. Ohhhh was she upset. I think it called for Gold Medal and she used Pillsbury or vice versa.

Her recipe is really old but my sister still uses it to make these cookies every year.

Hi LipstickDiva.... Isn't it funny how we can glance back and remember those things? What a lovely tradition that you/your sister continue to use your moms recipe. It's the little things like that that make the holidays so special.

Hope you're having a lovely day,
