How to Make Chocolate Crinkles

Prepping the Chocolate Crinkles

Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients ready to go. Here's a step-by-step guide to prepping your chocolate crinkles:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, cocoa powder and melted milk chocolate. Stir until well combined.
2. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
3. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results.

It's Baking Time!

Now that your dough is chilled and ready to go, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and follow these steps to bake your chocolate crinkles:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form balls of dough about the size of a golf ball.
3. Roll each ball first in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar, ensuring a generous coating.
4. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes on a pre-heated oven at 350F/180C, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked.
6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Boost Your Chocolate Crinkles Game: Tips and Tricks

• Use high-quality cocoa powder and milk chocolate for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I store these chocolate crinkles?

You can store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Alternatively, freeze them for up to 3 months, then thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Absolutely! Dark chocolate will give your chocolate crinkles a more intense, bittersweet flavor.

Can I add mix-ins to the dough?

Yes, feel free to add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for an extra burst of flavor and texture.

How can I tell when my chocolate crinkles are done baking?

The edges should be set, while the centers should be slightly underbaked to ensure a fudgy texture. Be careful not to overbake them, as they can become dry.

Why do I need to chill the dough before baking?

Chilling the dough helps to solidify the fats, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking. It also allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more delicious cookie.
