Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Hi Bold Bakers! Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are a holiday favorite with my family and friends, and soon they will be favorites in your house too. It is just not Christmas until the house is filled with homemade treats, like any desserts from my Holiday Baking Headquarters, and a treat just isn’t really much of a treat unless it is chocolate! No matter what the holiday occasion, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s Eve parties, these are the perfect finishing touch to any celebration. Already have an account?

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies start with sugar, oil, and a TON of rich cocoa powder. Packed with chocolate, these cookies are very similar to a brownie, but take a super yummy turn right before baking. After chilling the batter you roll the dough into little balls then dip each one in lots of powdered sugar, and then the magic happens! This outer layer of sugar keeps the outside of the cookie crisp while encasing a molten center. The crinkle on top comes down to a chemical reaction that happens with the rising agent and the rest of the ingredients. It makes them very unique and I think beautiful.

How Long Does It Take To Make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies?

My Chocolate Crinkle Cookies bake for just 10-12 minutes, which gives them such a nice texture. They are just baked, chewy, dense and packed with a chocolate punch. After just a short time in the oven, these babies flatten out revealing a perfect glimpse of the chocolate inside, while staying powdery and white on the outside.

How Long do Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Last?

These crinkle cookies are great made in advance as they stay chewy on the inside even a few days later. The best way to store these is in an airtight container at room temperature. I don’t know about you but if I got these as a gift this holiday season I would be beyond happy!
