Chocolate Crinkles

Hey everyone!  Sorry I have been missing in action for a couple weeks.  I left my camera at home, and wasn't able to get it back until we visited for Thanksgiving this week!  I'm glad to be back.  My Aunt Carol introduced this recipe to me, and we all loved these cookies!!!  She made them for a little football party we had on Saturday, and we all devoured them by the end of the game!  I am a chocolate lover, so it's not too much of a surprise :)  Enjoy!
