Potluck Recipe #08: Chocolate Crackle Cookies

By Jeanne Foels, Marketing & Outreach Coordinator
I’m going to let you in on a family secret: Chocolate Crackle Cookies.
Passed down by my grandmother, perfected by my mother, beloved by my brother and me, these cookies are truly time-tested. I remember making countless batches alongside my mom, learning to crack the eggs and level the flour – and sneaking more than a few tastes of the chocolate-y dough!
Now as a 20-something, I rely on these cookies as my go-to recipe for cheering up friends or bringing treats to gatherings. I can say from experience: don’t plan on having any left over if you bring them to a potluck – these little guys are always a crowd favorite.
Note: Leave time for the dough to chill before you bake them. Make sure not to over-bake them – the soft, chewy center is the best part, especially when they’re still hot from the oven!
