Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Deliciously soft and fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies coated in powdered sugar. An easy-to-bake dessert for chocolate lovers and parties.
Yesterday, I baked a bazillion cookies. I turned on Christmas movies for my kiddo’s, and started baking away! After I finished, 4 hours later, I sent my Elves to pass out the goods while I cleaned up the mess. I received lots of text messages thanking me for the cookies, so I’m guessing they were a hit. 🙂 I’m sharing all the recipes this week! First up are the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. As they bake, they puff up and crack. The flavor reminds me of a brownie. Very delish!
Ingredients for Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 large baking sheets with butter.
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar together, on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until creamy and combined. Turn off mixer and scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Add 1 egg and beat on medium speed until blended. Add the other egg and vanilla and beat until blended.
Turn off mixer and add the flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until combined.
Using a Tablespoon, scoop up a rounded spoonful of dough. Form dough into a ball using the palm of your hand. Roll ball into the powdered sugar until covered. Place balls on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat, spacing the balls 2 inches apart.
When 1 baking sheet is full, place in the oven and bake until cookies are crackled and puffed, about 10 to 12 minutes only. Using oven mitts, remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. Using a metal spatula transfer cookies to a wire rack to completely cool. Repeat with all cookies. Makes about 24 cookies.

I love making these cookies. I switched a couple things up this last time and they were so good. I seriously needed to hit the grocery store so I substituted half the butter for shortening and I used brown sugar instead of white. They turned out so yummy and moist!
Love these…they sounds wonderful!!
They look scrumptious!
I like the idea of trying with God brown sugar too!
Thanks so much .. I will be giving these a try!
Sorry … Darn auto type! … I meant brown sugar ⛄️
