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*).

Yield 36 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup unsalted butter
10 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 egg, room temperature
1 ½ cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp instant espresso powder
coffee extract
½ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
6 oz white chocolate, chopped
⅔ cup icing sugar

Steps:

  • Over a pot filled with 2 inches of simmering water, place a metal or glass bowl and add butter. Stir until melted halfway and add chopped bittersweet chocolate. Stir until just melted and remove from heat. Set aside.
  • Whip eggs with sugar, vanilla and espresso powder with electric beaters or in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Whisk melted chocolate into egg mixture until incorporated. Whisk in flour mixture and stir in white chocolate chunks. Cover batter with plastic and chill for at least 4 hours before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Spoon cookie dough by tablespoonfuls (or teaspoonfuls for dainty cookies) and roll gently to shape into a ball. Roll cookie in icing sugar and place on a parchment-lined or greased cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes. To test doneness, lift a cookie off the tray - if it comes off cleanly, then cookies are done.
  • Cool cookies before storing. Cookies will keep up to a week at room temperature in an airtight container. Batter also freezes well.

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate (2 whole squares)
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, melt baking chocolate according to package instructions. Cool slightly.
  • Add granulated sugar and oil. Mix by hand until combined.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix by hand until no flour streaks can be seen. Do not overmix. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate atleast 2 hours, or until dough is completely chilled.
  • When the dough is ready, preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Put powdered sugar in a small mixing bowl. Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar.
  • Using a teaspoon or very small cookie scoop, scoop a small amount of dough into your hand, about a Tablespooon, and roll it into a ball. It should be no bigger than 1 inch in diameter.
  • Drop the ball of dough into the powdered sugar and roll until covered.
  • Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Leaving space for the cookies to spread, about 2 inches. Repeat until all cookies are formed.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set. Cookies will appear slightly soft in the centers. Don't overbake.
  • Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Tips:

  • Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the crinkles. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the crinkles tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the crinkles hold their shape.
  • Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking. This will give them their signature crinkled appearance.
  • Bake the crinkles until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the crinkles cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Chocolate crinkles are a delicious and festive holiday treat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their rich chocolate flavor and crinkled appearance, chocolate crinkles are sure to be a hit at your next holiday party.
