I will spare you from experiencing poor word choices, incorrect punctuation, and less than desirable sentence structure in my writing. The reader should feel taken care of. What’s a preposition at the end of a sentence? I will, however, leave you with a sweet recipe for cookies. Christmas cookies in September. Crinkle cookies. I took some photos. Documentarian style. I like the light. Make, bake, taste. Enjoy.

Cooking Classy Crinkle Cookie Recipe (adapted from Hershey’s)
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups (284g) all-purpose flour (spoon into measuring cup to measure)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (175ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder (spoon into measuring cup to measure)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (97g) powdered sugar
Instructions
-
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
-
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend together granulated sugar and oil.
-
Mix in cocoa powder and blend well. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
-
Add in flour mixture and mix until blended. Cover dough and refrigerate overnight*.
-
The following day preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
-
Place powdered sugar in a small mixing bowl.
-
Remove about 1/4 of the dough from the refrigerator at a time to work with and let remaining chill.
-
Scoop dough out and shape into balls about 1-inch each. Roll in powdered sugar then place on prepared baking sheet spacing them 2-inches apart.
-
Bake in preheated oven 10 – 13 minutes until nearly set – they should be soft when touched and should appear slightly under-baked.
-
Cool on baking sheet several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
-
Store cookies in an airtight container once they are nearly cool. Repeat process with remaining dough.
-
*If your dough is still sticky you can freeze it for 30 minutes, if needed you can even scoop and drop directly into powdered sugar then roll.
