Chocolate Crinkles

Directions

1. 1
   Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter together. Remove from heat once melted.
2. 2
   Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Then, beat in the vanilla extract. Stir in the chocolate mixture.
3. 3
   Mix together the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
4. 4
   Add the flour mix to the chocolate mix. Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours or overnight, so that the batter is firm enough to shape into balls. I left mine overnight, so I needed to heat it up a bit in the microwave the next day - about 15 seconds just to get the dough malleable again should do the trick.
5. 5
   When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fill a shallow bowl with powdered sugar. Form balls of dough about 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter, and then roll the dough balls in the powdered sugar until they are completely coated.
6. 6
   Place the balls of dough on the baking sheet about 1 and 1/2 inches apart.
7. 7
   Bake 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake! Make sure to move them to a wire rack after they come out of the oven.
