Chocolate Crinkles

By Hklbrries

The dough must be chilled before the cookies can be made.

Be very careful not to overbake.

To be sure that the Chocolate Crinkles keep their snowy white appearance, follow this tip: Roll the dough into balls and then in granulated sugar first, before coating them with confectioners' sugar.
