Last week, I got a hankering to make something I hadn't tried before and this was the recipe I found. Everyone in the house loves them. They are soft and chewy inside despite the volcanic look of the outsides -- almost like brownies. And they are fairly small too. So if you, you know, eat 2 or 3 or 6, you don't feel quite so naughty.
I hope you enjoy them too.
Chocolate Crinkles
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup cooking oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
sifted powdered sugar
Mix together eggs, granulated sugar, chocolate, oil, baking powder, vanilla, and flour. Cover and chill dough for 1 to 2 hours.
Shape dough into one inch balls. Roll in powdered sugar and place on ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake at 375 degrees until edges are set and tops are cracked. Transfer to a cooling rack. You may sprinkle with more powdered sugar while warm if you desire.

How do you go about melting the chocolate? If the chocolate is still in a hot and melted state, does that make it tricky to mix with the eggs without them cooking prematurely?
I melted the chocolate in the microwave following the directions on the package. It was like - 30 seconds, then stir, and if not melted, heat for another 30 seconds.
I've never had a problem mixing something warm into a dough like that with the eggs as long as I don't put them together. I always stir in one and then stir in the other to distribute the heat.
Let me know if you try them and how they turn out.
