Chocolate Crinkles
3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 squares (4 oz.) unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup cooking oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour

In a mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, sugar, melted chocolate, cooking oil, baking powder, and vanilla. Gradually add flour to chocolate mixture, stirring till thoroughly combined. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours or till easy to handle.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar to coat generously. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bkae in a 375-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or till edges are set and tops are crackled. Cool cookies on a wire rack. If desired, sprinkle with additional powdered sugar. Makes about 48.
These sound delicious!

Having a mix on hand sounds like a great idea!
Thank you to everyone who participated! It was so much fun!

hey here, I came through Sallie's blog, golden syrup for us down under is like a type of light treacle, I guess it's similar to what you call molasses there...
thanks Tammy this was nice....I like the idea....I will have to think of one myself....just maybe not so high in calories LOL!
Wow, the ideas and the calories! *Ü*
I'm going to try some of those and especially the Basic Cookie Dough, I think that's a great one to have on hand, wonder how long it lasts?
What about freezing?
Hi Tammy, I see Amy answered your quetion about golden syrup. It's sugar cane syrup, and I believe a little hard to find in the US, though it is available in some grocery stores. I have heard that you can get Lyle's Golden Syrup through Amazon.
Emma
You can get golden syrup in Canada, or in your better (specialty) grocery stores (Sorry, Meijer prob. won't have it). In the states, there's a brand called Lyle's.
You can substitute corn syrup if you don't have trouble with sulfites. I personally wouldn't use molasses as a substitute because the taste would be too strong.
D'oh, I should read your comments before posting my own! This has already been answered twice! Ah well, press on!
Oh yummm! Sorry I missed the post about the swap...I'll participate in the comments here. :)
~Ice Cream Sandwiches~
For a yummy summer treat I like to take my favorite cookies, sandwich ice cream between two of them and smooth out the edges, and roll the sides in sprinkles, wrap and save in the freezer. :)
All the recipes sound so yummy! Thanks for the links!
Thanks for the info on golden syrup! I did look at Meijer, and they don't have it. Hmmm...
Roberta, your cookies sound so good!
