CHOCOLATE CRINKLES
Although these aren't exactly the recipe we used at Cookies By Design (it would be wrong for me to give that out), it's very close and they taste exactly the same: absolutely wonderful! :) And so easy to make, too! My husband made these last year for his annual cookie tin gifts, and they were very popular. Makes about 72 cookies. These are different from most of the recipes you'll find for chocolate crinkles in that they use cocoa powder rather than baking chocolate or liquid forms of chocolate (kind of nice, actually... no messy melted chocolate all over the kitchen! *chuckle*).

RASPBERRY-CHOCOLATE CRINKLES
With the addition of freeze-dried raspberries (found at natural-food markets and well-stocked grocery stores), this take on the classic chocolate crinkle cookie is absolutely addictive. I used the Chocolate Crinkles II recipe from Allrecipes as the base, then gave it a color and flavor boost with the berries.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment. The last 2 ingredients, the white and powdered sugar will each go in its own bowl for rolling the cookies in before they bake. Do it now and you can set it aside.
- 2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
- 3. Whisk the brown sugar, eggs, espresso powder and vanilla in another large bowl. Combine the chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 50 percent powder for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until melted.
- 4. Whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, blending them together in holy matrimony. Fold in the flour until there are no streaks of dry remaining. Let the dough sit at room temp for 10 minutes to soak up the atmosphere and get used to its oneness with the universe. (Its getting late, I'm may be getting a little goofy. Forgive).
- 5. Now, the oven is hot, your sugars are in their bowls and you have the cookie dough sitting there poised for action. Your hands are clean, yes? Now take a small ball of dough, not too small, perhaps a heaping tablespoon, and roll it up gingerly. It will be a tad sticky. If fact the first time I made them, I chilled the dough for 10 minutes or so. But it was all good even unchilled. I test baked a pair of cookies and they were perfect. Take a ball of dough and roll it in the white granulated sugar. Once covered, roll in the powdered sugar, perhaps using a spoon to swish it about. Lay the cookies on a cookie sheet. They do not spread much, but puff beautifully.
- 6. The directions say to bake 12 minutes, but their cookies were bigger than mine. You still want it to look a bit moist in the cracks and crevices. So about 10 and then check. They will be crinkly and cracked, soft and yet with a bit of crust on the outside. Perfect chocolate cookies! Cool right on the cookie sheet if you can or slide the parchment carefully on the cooling rack.

CHOCOLATE CRINKLES
Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the cocoa powder and sugar until well combined. 2. In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or overnight. 4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Pour the confectioners' sugar on a plate or shallow bowl, then roll each ball in the sugar (fun job for kids). 5. Place the ball on an engrossed baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 12 minutes. Lay baking sheet on a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to racks to cool thoroughly. Makes 25-35 cookies
Tips:
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar before baking. This will give the cookies a classic crinkled appearance and a sweet, sugary crust.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will dry them out and make them crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Chocolate crinkles are a classic holiday cookie that is enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your chocolate crinkles turn out perfect every time.
