German Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are a delicious twist on the classic chocolate cookie. They get their rich flavor from a boxed German chocolate cake mix, which is combined with potato flakes, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. The dough is then rolled in a chocolatey sugar glaze before being baked to perfection. These cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings and can be enjoyed with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. They are also a great option for bake sales, potlucks, or office parties.
