Chocolate Crinkles Recipe From Joy Of Baking
Description
Chocolate crinkles are classic American cookies that are usually made during the winter holidays. They have a rich chocolate flavor and a soft, slightly chewy texture. The cookies are slightly crisp on the outside, and the inside is soft and moist. The cookies are made with cocoa powder, which gives them a rich, chocolatey flavor. The addition of vanilla and baking powder helps to give the cookies a light, airy texture. The cookies have a unique crinkle pattern on the top, which is created when the dough is rolled in granulated sugar before baking.
These cookies are easy to make and require very few ingredients. The dough is made with melted butter, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and eggs. The dough is then rolled in granulated sugar and chilled before baking. The cookies are then baked at a moderate temperature until they are set and lightly golden. The result is a soft, chewy, and slightly crinkled cookie that is a favorite for the winter holidays.
Ingredients
The ingredients for this recipe are very simple. You will need:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
To make the cookies, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and eggs and mix until the ingredients are well combined. Chill the dough for at least an hour.
Once the dough is chilled, take one tablespoon of dough and shape it into a ball. Roll the ball in the sugar and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are set and lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
