Mexican Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Mexican Chocolate Crinkle Cookies feature a tender, slightly cakey texture with a subtle cinnamon and grated Mexican chocolate flavor. These chocolate cookies are coated in powdered sugar before baking, which cracks to create their characteristic crinkled appearance. The dough is chilled before shaping to help develop the texture.
