these cookies are similar to my crackly fudge cookies, but they have a lighter weight and lighter taste to them. using semi-sweet mini chocolate chips and even measures of both baking powder and baking soda, the cookie batter is almost airy pre-baking. once baked, these cookies are light and tasty. prior to baking they are rolled in granulated sugar which gives a bit more added sweetness, but not the heavy coating traditionally given to these cookie types by confectioner’s sugar.
