Chocolate Chunk Crinkles

It was one of those days. You know the type... cold, stressful, the kind during which you're late to work and your sock is bunched up and you can't find your pen and you're having a bad hair day. That kind.

Either tears or fists were about to fly. When a friend gave me some advice. So, I took a lunch break. And by a lunch break, I mean a must-have-chocolate-now break. So I went home, and I made cookies, and it was lovely.

And these weren't just an average day's cookies. Like I said, it was a must-have-chocolate day. Lots of chocolate, to be exact. So not only was it a chocolate cookie... it was rolled in cocoa powder and filled with chocolate chunks. Take that, mood.

{Chocolate Chunk Crinkles}

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra light olive oil

4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted

2 cups granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 cups flour

1 cup, or more bittersweet chocolate chunks

Extra powdered sugar and cocoa powder, to roll cookies

Directions

Mix oil, chocolate, sugar, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Stir in dry ingredients, add chunks. Chill several hours or overnight. When dough is easy to handle, roll into 1" balls. In one bowl, pour cocoa powder, in another, pour powdered sugar. Roll half of each dough ball in the two mixtures. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes and let cool. For pure bliss, eat while warm and gooey.

These are pure chocolate love. Rich, not too sweet, and perfect. The chocolate chunks add an awesome texture and meltiness to traditional crinkle cookies, and the cocoa powder adds an extra chocolate boost. I swear, these make any day right... just keep calm and eat chocolat.
