These beloved chocolate crinkle cookies are a holiday favorite that delivers rich, fudgy centers wrapped in a delightfully cracked powdered sugar coating. Originally popularized in American bakeries during the 1960s, these cookies combine the deep chocolate flavor of brownies with the satisfying chew of a perfect cookie.
Techniques: mixing, chilling, rolling, baking
These chocolate crinkle cookies are surprisingly simple to make and require no special equipment. The key to their signature cracked appearance is the double coating of granulated sugar and powdered sugar before baking.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week. For best results, serve at room temperature to enjoy their soft, chewy texture.
