This recipe was sent to me by a Mennonite woman. And that's all I know. The top half the paper is sheared off somehow and the years have made the paper rather dog-eared, but the recipe itself is intact so I figure why not share it? They sound really tasty. You can use your own homemade cake mix or cheat and use boxed.
Snow-capped chocolate crinkle cookies, this is the handwritten recipe a Mennonite woman sent me.
There's really not much to this recipe, but I bet the cookies are yummy and "cakey." This one is definitely on my "try" list soon:
