Chocolate Crinkles

I am a slightly obsessed with getting as much done in December as I can so that I can enjoy the holiday. I sent out our Christmas Cards the first week and managed to make treats and take them to neighbors the second week! It feels so good to be done with it all.

I hear my neighbors enjoyed the treats and I wanted to share the delicious cookie recipe I used.

This recipe is my Mother In Law's. She is an amazing cook and baker and actually owns a catering company! They are so simple and so delicious, perfect for a holiday party or for your neighbors! :)

Enjoy!
