This is another one of my all time favorite cookies. I posted this recipe last year, but I'm reposting it now (with better pictures). This is a great Christmas cookie. Especially if you're like me and you're giving everyone cookies for Christmas. Who has money for presents?
Chocolate Crinkles
1/2 c vegetable oil
4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate (1 oz each)
2 c sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
2 t vanilla
2 c rice flour mix
1/2 t xanthan gum
1/4 t salt
1 t baking powder
confectioners sugar
Melt chocolate, then mix with oil and sugar. Mix in eggs, one at a time. (If your eggs are cold, it will cause the warm chocolate to stiffen up and then you will have to warm up your dough somehow, so don't do that - use warm eggs.) Stir in the vanilla, then add the rice flour mix, xanthan gum, salt and baking powder. Mix everything together, then stick the bowl in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 350. Form dough into small balls (dough will be stiff) and roll in confectioners sugar. Place 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet, and bake 10-12 minutes (just until they feel slightly firm when you touch the top of one).
Makes about 3 dozen.
