Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

I love that these cookies are so easy to make.

The cookie dough does require 4 hours refrigeration, so factor that in to your prep time.

Once they’re out of the fridge, just roll them in balls dip them in sugar and bake.  Easy Peasy.

This recipe will also make at least 72 cookies.  Which is a GOOD thing!

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup butter – room temperature

NOTE:  The author of this recipe say’s not to skip the refrigeration step as it will affect the crinkle effect.  I took her word for it.
