chocolate crinkle cookies

chocolate crinkle cookies are really simple and extra delicious. they're light and fluffy while still being chewy and crisp all at the same time. they taste great, but personally, i feel like they look a little creepy. i don't know what it is about them but they just freak me out a little bit. it won't stop me from making them though! i've done these once with a bit of mint extract and it was superb!
