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.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES



German Chocolate Cookies image

While a big slice of German chocolate cake may appeal to many, baking one from scratch may not. That's where these cookies come in. They satisfy the craving for deep, dark pools of warm chocolate, sweet pecans and fragrant coconut with only a fraction of the work. To toast the coconut, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven when the edges and some of the coconut in the center are deep golden brown. It's fine if some of the coconut is still pale.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/47 grams natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1/2 cup/101 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/110 grams packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/128 grams lightly toasted, sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup/170 grams chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 cup/119 grams chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  • Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture. Add coconut, chocolate and pecans and mix to just combine.
  • Portion the dough in 2 tablespoon scoops and roll them into balls. Place them on parchment-lined baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies until dry on top but still soft in the center, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately tap the sheets against a work surface to deflate them slightly. Let the cookies sit on the sheets for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to mix together more easily and will result in a smoother cookie dough.
  • Do not overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help the cookies to bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
