Description

Chocolate crinkle cookies are a classic treat that are sure to please. Even though there are many variations, the most popular version is made with cocoa powder, butter, egg, and sugar. These cookies are soft and chewy with a crackly exterior. They are dressed up with a dusting of powdered sugar, which gives them a festive look.

There is something about the combination of cocoa and powdered sugar that is irresistible. The cookies are rich, yet light and airy. They are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of cold milk. These cookies are also a great choice for holiday cookie exchanges and bake sales.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2/3 cup cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs. Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Roll each portion of dough into a ball and then roll in the powdered sugar. Place the balls of dough at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to set. Let cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For an extra-chocolatey version, try adding 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the cookie dough before scooping and rolling in the powdered sugar.

The cookies will keep for several days when stored in an airtight container. For best results, store at room temperature.

Nutrition

Each cookie is approximately 100 calories. These cookies are high in sugar, but they are also a good source of carbohydrates and fat.

For a healthier version of these cookies, try substituting the butter with coconut oil or the granulated sugar with a natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup.
