These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are both pretty and delicious! Chocolate lovers won’t be able to resist this tasty treat!
I’m in love with chocolate desserts. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. 🙂 Give me all the Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Cookies, Chocolate Cheesecake and Chocolate Bread! For Christmas, my husband gifted me a box of my favorite chocolate bars. He knows the way to my heart. 🙂 After I’ve had my afternoon and evening meal, I enjoy a few squares of chocolate. Ending a meal with something sweet is the best way to do life!
These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies taste sinfully delicious! To make them even better, you roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking. I think the crinkles, accented by the white powdered sugar, are so beautiful! Don’t you?
I’m a much happier person when I’m eating chocolate on-the-regular. I’m not ashamed that my quality of life is directly linked to my chocolate intake. I believe that food should be enjoyed. And dessert, while an indulgence, is certainly there to help us have a better day, and a better week. At least that’s what it does for me. Thank goodness for chocolate! I would not be the person that I am without it, haha!
So now I’ll stop being cheesy and get down to business, discussing these phenomenal chocolate cookies! Please allow yourself time to chill the dough. I’m sure you’ll agree that two hours is a small sacrifice to make in order to partake of something so incredible as this. Chilling the dough is a must and it’s what gives these cookies their perfect crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture.
They’re fudgey and so chocolatey-good! They taste like they came from your favorite bakery, but they’re so easy to make at home. And can we take a moment to talk about how incredibly gorgeous these cookies are? So many things to love about this dessert! I know you’re going to be crazy for these too!
Who else is going to bolt to the kitchen and bake up some Chocolate Crinkle Cookies right now?! I can’t wait to make these again soon! My kids went wild for them. I went wild for them. I know you’re going to go wild for them too.
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. butter softened
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1/4 c. brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. baking cocoa
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For rolling:
- 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line baking sheets with nonstick baking liners or spray them with nonstick baking spray.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla and cream together completely, until it lightens and color and is nice and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking cocoa, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix just until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between. Quickly mix in mini chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and chill it in the fridge for 2 hours (don't skip this step). Then remove it from the fridge and allow it to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Scoop dough and form into 1 1/2" balls.
- Roll the balls in powdered sugar, then place on prepared cookie sheets, at least 2" apart.
- Bake for about 9 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to over bake, or they'll lose their amazing texture!
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container once cool, until ready to serve.
