Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE CRINKLES II

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one inch balls. I like to use a number 50 size scoop. Coat each ball in confectioners' sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and then beat on high speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour into the wet ingredients. Beat on low until combined and then beat in the chocolate chips. The cookie dough will be thick and very sticky. Cover dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Chilling is mandatory for this sticky cookie dough.
• Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. If the cookie dough chilled longer than 3 hours, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This makes the chilled cookie dough easier to scoop and roll.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.
• Scoop and roll balls of dough, about 1.5 Tablespoons of dough each, into balls. Roll each ball very lightly in granulated sugar, then generously in the confectioners' sugar. Place 3 inches apart on the baking sheets.
• Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes or until the edges appear set and the centers still look soft. Tip: If they aren't really spreading by minute 9, remove them from the oven and lightly bang the baking sheet on the counter 2-3x. This helps initiate that spread. Return to the oven to continue baking.
• Cool cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. The cookies will slightly deflate as they cool.
• Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

GLUTEN-FREE DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE GINGER CRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• For the gluten-free flour blend: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.
• For the cookies: In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, chopped chocolate and 1/4 cup candied ginger with 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat together the oil and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until the sugar is dissolved. Add the eggs and molasses; mix until combined. With the motor running, gradually add in the flour mixture and mix until combined.
• Place some sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop balls of dough into the sugar; toss to coat and place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until puffed and cracked on the tops, about 15 minutes. Place on wire racks and let cool completely.
• Dip the cookies into the melted white chocolate and decorate with candied ginger. Place on parchment paper until completely set.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CRACKLES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the melted butter and eggs until combined, then stir in the white chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Put the confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls, then roll in the confectioners' sugar until well coated. Place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets.
• Bake until the cookies are puffed and the tops are cracked, about 10 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
