Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Make the best Chocolate Crinkle Cookies at home with this easy recipe! These chocolatey cookies taste fudgy and brownie-like and form a pretty crackly pattern as they bake!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional- I like to add it for a richer chocolatey flavour)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For rolling:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (aka icing sugar or confectioners sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the four, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until fluffy (a couple of minutes). Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer and mix until they are incorporated. Cover bowl with plastic food wrap and place in the fridge to set for 2 hours (the dough will be too sticky to handle without chilling it).
- Scoop out dough (I like to use a small sized cookie scoop- to get a uniform size) and roll the dough into a ball.
- Roll the dough balls in regular sugar first and then in the powdered sugar, being sure to coat them generously. Place the dough balls on the baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Remove them from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
