Gooey Chocolate Crinkle Cookies



I was inspired by a recipe on Paula Deen's website when I was searching for something gooey, and brownie-like, and came up with this! It's a little different than her's (which uses a cake mix and cream cheese- try it!), but these are from scratch, and amazingly delicious! I added some mint chocolate chips or broken Andes mints for an extra decadent treat.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine:
2 C. sugar
½ C. oil
4 eggs
1 tsp Vanilla (or peppermint extract)
1 C. baking cocoa

add:
2 C. flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
½ tsp. Salt
(optional: ½ c. crushed candy canes, 1 C. mint chips, or 1 C. broken Andes mints)

roll into balls, and into:
½ C. powdered sugar

place on cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until puffy in the center. Remove from oven while still puffy in center and let flatten and cool on counter for a few minutes. Hurry and eat them all before your husband gets to them!!!
