Sans Meal Plan: Holiday Cookies

For the final Sans Meal Plan of 2015, we are gifting you an easy cookies recipe that doesn’t involve Phoebe Buffet’s grandmother, Nesele Toulouse. Celebrate the official end of finals and the start of the winter break with a round of holiday chocolate crinkle cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick butter
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the over to 350 degrees and grease two baking sheets with butter. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes, until creamy.

Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla until blended. Then, add the flour mixture.

Put the confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl. Using a tablespoon, scoop a rounded spoonful of dough. Roll the dough into a ball and cover with the confectioners’ sugar. Place the cookie on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes.
