MINT CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES



Mint Chocolate Crinkle Cookies image

The dough is a bit sticky so make sure that it is well chilled. After rolling several balls of dough between the palms of your hand you will need to wash the residual chocolate off your hands, dry them thoroughly and then keep on rollin'. If I am making the whole batch all at once, I like to roll all the dough into balls first...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 c unsalted butter
4 extra large eggs at room temperature
2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 c unsweetened dutch cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 bag mint semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c or more of confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a microwave safe bowl combine the unsweetened chocolate and the butter. Microwave for 1 minute then stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds or more until the chocolate and butter have completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, add the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand held mixer), beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light in color, thick, and ribbons form, about 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the melted chocolate and butter. Beat until blended. Add the flour mixture and beat until blended. Fold in the mint chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is firm enough to roll into balls, at least 3 hours.
  • 4. Preheat the oven to 325º F (165º C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl.
  • 5. Roll rounded tablespoons (I use a small ice cream scoop) into 1 1/4-inch balls. Roll each ball in the confectioners' sugar liberally to coat completely (do not shake off excess). Place the balls on the baking sheet, spaced 2 1/2-inches apart (1 dozen per baking sheet).
  • 6. Bake the cookies until the tops are puffed and crinkled and the edges are slightly firm, 15-17 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Roll the dough balls in confectioners' sugar before baking. This will give the cookies a festive appearance and help to prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The centers of the cookies should be slightly soft and gooey.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Mint Crinkle Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, minty undertones, and crinkly texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you're baking them for a holiday party or just to enjoy as a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
