Bang the pan on the counter?

Many new traditions this Christmas! ​Quinn and I made chocolate crinkle cookies on Christmas day. My dad always used to buy me crinkle cookies when I was growing up so when Quinn proposed the idea I thought it must be fate!

Before this year the only cookies I had ever made were chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. Maybe I think in collage I made Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies, but that might have been it.

I often forget about all the different types of cookies so I don't think to make them. But these crinkle cookies had one unique step. They called for banging the pan with the cookies on the counter to make them spread out. But you don't do this at the logical point. You don't do this when you are rolling the cookies out. You do this after they are almost completely baked in the oven. You take them out at 9 minutes, bang them, then put them back in for 2 minutes.

They came out great and were a crowd pleaser. I think I might like them better than chocolate chip cookies because these were gooey. I have been trying to make gooey chocolate chip cookies with absolutely no success. 

I did not vlog this one because I am at my parent's house and all five of us were in the kitchen so it would have been a nightmare to try and video.
