Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
A classic cookie recipe worth keeping in your recipe book. Chocolate crinkle cookies are rich, fudgy and super simple to make. Rolled in powdered sugar for a beautiful, crinkled effect.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the melted butter and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl (or the bowl of a mixer) whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the cocoa mixture, mix until well combined.
- Add the cocoa mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. The mixture is a bit dry and can be a little hard to mix. Keep mixing and it will come together. Using a mixer helps to speed up the process.
- Scoop the dough using a 1.5-ounce portion scoop and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Evenly coat each portioned cookie ball in the powdered sugar then place back onto the baking sheet. Lightly press the tops to slightly flatten them out. Bake in a 350° F oven for 13 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
For a fudgier cookie bake one to two minutes less.
If you prefer a crisper cookie bake for an additional minute or two.
