Categories     Dessert

Time 43m

Yield 36 cookies, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder (I used Ghirardelli)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus additional for dusting hands

Steps:

  • In a bowl (preferably metal) stir together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and blend in butter. Stir in egg and vanilla until mixture is blended. NOTE: (Some people add ¼ cup mini chocolate chips to make richer, I did not).
  • Spread dough in a thin layer in bowl and freeze 10 minutes, or until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Put 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and dust hands with additional. Roll each piece of dough into a ball (small - gumball size) and then in confectioners' sugar in bowl. Arrange balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets, bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are just set. Cool cookies on racks.

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 CRACKLE COOKIES



Chocolate Crackle Cookies image

A variegated pattern of deep dark chocolate and pure white powdered sugar makes these crinkly cookies a striking study in contrast. Roll balls of the rich dough first in granulated sugar, then in confectioners' sugar. The first layer ensures that the second one retains its snowy white appearance.

SPICY CHOCOLATE CRACKLE COOKIES



SPICY CHOCOLATE CRACKLE COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies

Yield 3 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate, divided (8oz and 4oz)
¾ cup flour
2 tsp Indonesian cinnamon
1/2 tsp cayenne powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup firm packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Melt 8 oz chocolate as directed on package. Set aside. Coarsely chop remaining 4 oz chocolate. Mix flour, roasted cinnamon, cayenne pepper, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. 2. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl in electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add melted chocolate, beat until well blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed. Stir in chopped chocolate. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons 1 ½ inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. 3. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven about 10 minutes or just until cookies are set and slightly cracked on top. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give the cookies a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies. They should be baked just until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These spicy chocolate crackle cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, spicy kick, and crispy crackly exterior, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try!
