🍫 Extra Crackly Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Meet your new favourite holiday cookie — rich, chewy, and double chocolatey! These Extra Crackly Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies have that perfect contrast between a soft brownie-like centre and a shatteringly crisp, crackled exterior. ✨
This one-bowl, no-mixer recipe is the dream for lazy bakers who still want pro results — all you need is a whisk and a few pantry staples!
🧈 Why You’ll Love These Cookies
- Ultra-fudgy centre: Feels like a brownie in cookie form.
- Super crackly tops: Thanks to the double sugar roll (granulated + powdered).
- One-bowl simplicity: No mixer needed, minimal cleanup.
- Festive and versatile: Perfect for Christmas boxes, bake sales, or gifting. 🎁
🍫 How the Magic Happens
It all starts with real melted chocolate and butter, creating a deep, rich base. The dark brown sugar adds moisture and chew, while a hint of instant coffee intensifies the chocolate flavour.
After a quick rest, the dough is scooped and rolled — first in granulated sugar for that subtle crunch, then in powdered sugar for that signature crackled look.
As they bake, the cookies puff up and split open dramatically, revealing fudgy interiors beneath snowy tops ❄️.
🔪 Pro Tips from Sheldo’s Kitchen
- Chill briefly if your dough feels too soft — this helps shape cleaner cracks.
- Double coat the cookies generously in powdered sugar for the best texture.
- Don’t overbake! Pull them out when the edges are just set; they’ll firm as they cool.
- Flavour twist: Try adding sesame + nori or a pinch of black pepper for a gourmet touch. 🌶️
🍪 Perfect for Every Occasion
Whether you’re filling a holiday cookie box, baking for friends, or just need a chocolate fix, these crinkle cookies deliver the ultimate balance of crackly outside and gooey inside.
They stay soft for days when stored in an airtight container — if they last that long! 😉
❤️ Final Thoughts
A true brownie-meets-cookie masterpiece — indulgent, simple, and utterly satisfying. Pair with a glass of milk, a warm latte, or just enjoy one straight off the tray.
Once you make these, no other crinkle cookie will compare.
Happy baking and happy cracking! 🍪💥
