Chocolate fudge crinkle cookies are traditional Christmas cookies that are rich and fudgy and rolled in a thick coating of powdered sugar which gives them that crinkled look.

Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350ºF.

Notes
Make sure you refrigerate your dough for at least 2 hours for best results.Make sure you coat the cookie dough ball really well in the powdered sugar.You can also melt your butter in a large bowl in the microwave instead of on the stovetop.I like to cut the baking time down to 8 minutes for a fudgy texture. Bake for 10 minutes for a cake-like center.
