Chocolate Crinkle Cookie

My husband thinks that I could create world peace with this cookie.
He thought is was so undeniably good, that there would be no way two people any where in the world could disagree over the sheer deliciousness of this cookie.
Wow.
He was very adamant that this could be true.  I started laughing because actually this cookie is traditionally a Christmas cookie.
In fact, when I originally made them, we loved them, but they tasted so much like Christmas, that I didn't feel right about blogging about them in the summer time.
But, everyone kept asking me to make them over and over again.  I decided why wait for December when something is so delicious today.
Peace. Joy. Love.    Yum!

Chocolate Crinkle Cookie

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.

In a medium bowl whisk together:

1 cup organic pastry flour

1/4 cup ground flax seed

2 tablespoons organic pure cocoa (not the drink mix)

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

In another medium bowl mix together:

3/4 cup organic sugar

2 tablespoons corn syrup

1/3 cup organic rice milk

2 teaspoon organic vanilla extract

1/2 cup melted vegan chocolate chips

Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated and a dough has formed.

Cover the dough tightly so it doesn't dry out, and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 20 minutes.  

While the dough is chilling, prepare your sugars.

For rolling the cookies, place each of these in a bowl or plate:

3/4 cup powdered sugar 

1/4 organic sugar

When dough is chilled, use a tablespoon sized amount of dough and roll into a ball.  Then gently roll the ball first through the granulated sugar and then again through the powdered sugar. 

More is more, so sugar away!

Place balls on the prepared cookie sheet 2 inch apart.  These cookies will spread.  Bake for 10-14 minutes or until they have cracked and puffed a bit.  Remove from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet 5 minutes.  Move to a wire rack with a spatula to continue to cool.

These cookies taste awesome for days if kept in a covered container BUT due to the powdered sugar, they only look their very merry best on day 1.

Let's give peace a chance.....
