Chocolate Crinkle Cookies (The 36th AVENUE)

Hello and Happy December to all The 36th Avenue readers! It’s Aniko from Place Of My Taste and I am here to share a fantastic Christmas cookie recipe with you all today. We give cookies to friends and neighbors each year for Christmas. I try to give something different every year though. This was the first time that I tried to make these delicious Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, although they have been on my list for ever. Who doesn’t love cookies this time of the year, right?

Oh, these are so easy to make and really really yummy!
