These may look like your standard chocolate crinkles, but the key word her is LOADED. And when I say "loaded" I mean loaded with good things like chocolate chips and chunks of candy cane kisses (like hershey kisses/hugs but sold at Christmas time - white chocolate and peppermint swirled together). These are good enough to warrant your eyes rolling back into your head, or maybe that is just me.
Whether you are looking for cookie exchange inspiration or something to leave out for Santa to enjoy - these will definitely fit the bill.

2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Stir together flour, baking powder & salt, then add to chocolate mixture.
Stir in chopped Hugs and chocolate chips.
Chill dough for a couple of hours.

When cooled, they can be dipped halfway in melted white chocolate for a fancier look.
How many does this make?
ReplyDeleteThis recipe, as written, makes about 4 dozen - maybe a little more.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that all depends on how many of those yummy chocolate balls you eat before baking them, which would be my problem :)
