    Spiced Chocolate Crinkle Cookies: Two types of dark chocolate make these cookies deliciously rich and chewy.

    When I saw this cookie recipe over on Heather's blog, Well Floured, I just knew I needed to make them for my Supper Club's annual cookie swap. And boy, was I glad I did!

    I used some high-quality chocolate for these, and it really paid off. I loved the depth of flavor that they had, and the little bit of spice from the cayenne was just fantastic.

    This was a fun recipe to make with the whole family. We ended up using a #30 scoop to portion out the cookies, and baked them on Silpat-lined baking sheets. I needed to add a bit of baking time to get them just right at that size - it took 16 minutes in my oven.

    The results were wonderful! They were rich and chewy - almost brownie-like. They were easy to make, and were a hit with everyone who tried 'em!
