So delicious yet so easy to make.. He loved it – both the looks and the taste. I recommend these cookies to all chocoholics. These are perfect Christmas cookies, soft inside and crunchy outside, with full taste of chocolate.. melting in your mouth. Yummy 🙂

He is a real chocolate fan.. Just after Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Bites and Holiday Maraschino Cherry Shortbread Cookies (currently most popular recipe on our blog) I`ve decide to surprise him with this Christmas Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. It was a good choice, trust me.

    Love a new cookie recipe! I’ve seen chocolate crinkles for years, never made them though. I’m not sure why, they look divine! The splash of orange juice is an interesting addition.
