Dark Chocolate Ginger Crinkles Karen Meacham
Makes 3 dozen. Bake time 35 min.
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, ½ c. chopped
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups flour (I added an extra 1/3 cup, otherwise cookies were too flat)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 c. candied ginger, finely chopped (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet mini choc chips
1 cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar
1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate over medium heat, stirring until smooth; let cool for 10 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees; line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the eggs into the butter mixture, then stir into the dry ingredients until incorporated; stir in the ginger and chocolate chips.
3. Place the confectioner's sugar in a wide bowl. Shape half of the dough into 1-inch balls, then coat with the confectioners' sugar. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake, switching and rotating the pans after about 10 minutes, until the cookies puff and crack, 14 to 17 minutes total. Let cool for a minute before transferring to racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining half of the dough.

Snowball Recipe Debbie Spector
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup powdered confectioners sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping:
1 cup powdered confectioner’s sugar, sifted
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch and salt. Set aside.
Using mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 min). Mix in vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least one hour or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, place rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Form firm dough into 1 inch balls and space 1” apart. Bake 12-14 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, line another baking pan/tray with parchment/wax paper. Sprinkle ½ cup of the confectioner’s sugar onto the paper and place the slightly cooled cookies on top of the sugar. Put the remaining ½ cup confectioner’s sugar in a fine strainer or sieve and sprinkle the tops of the cookies - or just roll the cookies in the sugar.
These cookies store very well. Place in an airtight container between sheets of wax paper and they will keep a couple of weeks.
