MM, can i use hershey’s unsweetened cocoa instead? can’t afford the choco blocks, too expensive and the cheap ones tastes awful. i love hershey’s (and can afford it) but i can’t find any hershey baking blocks. (mga sweetened lang). if ever, do you know how much unsweeted powdered cocoa i can use to substitute for the choco blocks? thanks so much. i’d appreciate the help.

I have tried using scharffenberger’s 99% and 70% chocolate. I prefer the 99% it works really well with the powdered sugar.

I hate to say this but your recipe is way better than my mom’s. I hope she does not read this. hehehe

Thank you for the recipe! Your blog never fails to make my mouth water. I’ve just made these using 70% dark chocolate. Unfortunately could not find the unsweetened stuff, so I used 1/2c less sugar. Another thing that is terribly hard to come by here is real vanilla! I’ve only ever found vanilla sugar. Why oh why? But the cookies came out perfectly textured albeit still a bit to sweet for my taste. Hope my sweet-tooth Finnish office mates like them! Merry Christmas!

Oh and may I add a tip? For those who hate flat crinkles (I do), substitute vegetable shortening (Crisco and the like) for the oil.

zofhia, you might want to reduce the sugar a little bit (I found these a BIT sweet anyway) but not too much… riana, the powdered sugar coating helps to crisp up the skin of the cookies, so i am not sure how it will work without the powdered sugar… maybe you’ll just get less crispy crinkles?

i have a block of bittersweet chocolate in the pantry, this is a perfect recipe to use it up before it expires.. however you used unsweetened chocolate.. should i decrease the sugar or should i leave it be? thank you..

MM, ive only been a lurker here since 2 weeks back and found your site while googling for recipes. now im a fan and am really excited doing this crinkles as i bake cookies for my kids almost every week.
can brown sugar be used instead of white sugar? i dont have white sugar readily available at home. :( i know it would look less enticing but will the cookies still taste great without the powdered sugar coating?
thanks!

dhayL, she is a small chocolate labrador retriever. She is nearly the exact same color as the crinkles, without the powdered sugar. And as a dog, chocolate is off limits to her… :) She is a runt of the litter, I think, but incredibly cute and good natured nonetheless… :)
