Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Here is another recipe I scraped from the Simon Says October card kit.  The frame cut around the picture is from iheartstudio. The recipe below is from Cook's Illustrated.  I highly recommend subscribing to their magazine and buying their books.  Everything that I have made from their recipes turns out really good.  They try all different ways to perfect a recipe and then tell you how to make it...all the homework is done for you, perfect!
