CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES



Chocolate Crinkle Cookies image

The "crinkle" in this recipe's name comes from their distinctive crackle-top. The look is achieved through the transformation of sugar-coated dough balls into distinctively textured cookies. Not only are chocolate crinkle cookies beautiful to look at, they're the perfect combination of chocolatey taste and chewy texture.

CHOCOLATE-MINT CRACKLES

The tops of these brownie-like cookies look as if they've been shattered. Coat the balls of dough thoroughly in confectioners' sugar before they go in the oven. They'll flatten and "crack" on their own as they bake.

CHOCOLATE CRINKLES



Chocolate Crinkles image

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*).

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...

Provided by Heather Hradek

Categories     Cookies

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:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough: This will help ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Roll the cookies in powdered sugar before baking: This will give the cookies a festive look and help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help the cookies firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mint crinkles are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of chocolate and mint is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. These cookies are also a great way to use up leftover chocolate and peppermint extract. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate mint crinkles a try!
