Fatal Attraction Cookies

These chocolatey crinkle cookies blend rich unsweetened chocolate with chocolate chips for double the cocoa flavour. A coating of icing sugar creates a striking contrast and adds a touch of sweetness. The dough comes together quickly, then chills before baking to achieve the signature crackled appearance.
