  • Scrape the bowl down and add cocoa powder. Beat it together until well combined, scrapping it at regular intervals. If you are using espresso powder then this is a good time to add it.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix it together.
  • Add the all purpose flour to the mixture and mix it well scraping in between till everything is well combined.
  • Either transfer the dough to an air tight container or cover it bowl with a tight cling wrap and refrigerate it overnight.
  • Pre-heat the oven at 350F and line the baking tray with parchment / baking paper.
  • Roll the chilled dough into small bowls using the small ice cream or cookie scoop or a table spoon.
  • Roll all the balls in the powdered sugar.
  • Place the sugar covered ball on a parchment lined baking tray about 2 inch distance from each other.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 mins. The cookies will rise and develop some beautiful cracks.
    Crinkle cookies
  • The hot cookies will be too soft and easily breakable. Let them cool for an hour and they will change the texture.
  • Once cooled the outside of the cookie will be slightly crisp and the inside would be soft and fudgy.

Notes

  • Always measure your ingredients correctly. Do not hard press the flour in the measuring cup. This will lead to extra flour and denser cookies.
  • Let the dough refrigerate for at least 8 - 12 hrs.
