Chocolate Malt Crinkles

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 3/4 cups sugar

4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted

2/3 cup chocolate malt powder

4 large eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup confectioners' sugar

In large bowl, with mixer on high, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate and malt; beat to combine. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat 2 minutes more. Reduce mixer speed to low, and add flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined. Refrigerate for 3 hours or up to 3 days.
Heat oven to 350°F. Shape tablespoons of dough into balls. Drop balls into confectioners' sugar, coating well. Place balls 10 apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are slightly crisp. Let cool 1 minute on baking sheet. Transfer cookies to wire racks, and let cool completely. Makes about 5 dozen.

I am not much of a baker, so I was a bit worried how these would turn out. I worried for nothing, they were fantastic and my sons, who are cookie connoisseurs, loved them! I recommend using a heaping teaspoon for the balls, not a tablespoon, I only got 3 dozen. I had to wash and dry my hands every few balls, otherwise they stuck to my hands.
