what are they called?

There is a kind of cookie that is chocolate, and you form them into balls and roll them in powdered sugar, which then cracks when they bake.

What on earth are those cookies called?

Edit: okay, I found a recipe called "dirty snowballs" http://www.recipesource.com/desserts/cookies/33/rec3315.html and one for "crinkle cookies" http://www.post-gazette.com/food/20020425mailbo0425fnp1.asp . Both seem to be approximately what I'm after. i'll need to mix up the dough the night before, since it needs to chill overnight.

I think they are just called chocolate crinkles.
