Chocolate-Peppermint Crinkle Cookies image

My husband always asks for peppermint crinkle cookies at Christmas, and I always have trouble finding a recipe with the perfect cake-to-fudge balance. After years of hits and misses, my husband insisted I write this recipe down. This is for a smaller batch, but can easily be doubled for larger families.
