Chocolate Crackles

So I am pretty sure that most people are in a sugar comma with all the sweets that they consumed during Christmas. I knew it was coming so I made sure to plan ahead. Instead of baking all my sweets I made a batch at a time and once they were gone waited a few days and made the next batch. This way my small little family of four didn’t consume quite as much and the cookies or treats didn’t go bad before we ate them all.  These are one of my favorites and my husband describes them as little brownies in the cookie form and rolled in powdered sugar. Super simple to make and chocolaty and chewy.
