Best Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

My chocolate crinkle cookies… One of the most easy peasy cookie recipes I have ever made! And the cutest afternoon snack too…

Have you ever heard of these crinkle cookies before?

I stumbled upon them a while ago.

It was another foodblogger who posted them. And I thought that these chocolate treats looked so good.

My husband is a huge fan of homemade and home baked cookies or biscuits with chocolate. He’s got a sweet tooth. Much more than I do in fact.

So how about I polish off my baking skills and I make hime a bunch of these lovely chocolate crinkle cookies this afternoon?

Baking

Well I had a blast.

I don’t bake that often. But these crinkle cookies are so easy to make. In the end they look absolutely spectacular when they come freshly out of the oven!

How cute are these cookies?

I like that cracked surface that they have. They might look difficult to make but I tell you they are one of the easiest cookie recipes I have ever made so far.

Do try them out and see for yourself!

And my husband?

What did he think of these chocolate crinkle cookies?

Well, he loved them. And he was very impressed by the way they looked. Just like me. They look like they come from a deli or a baker shop.

I added roasted almonds to the cookie dough.

But if you haven’t got any laying around in your kitchen or pantry, then I suggest that replace them by the same amount of flour.

To make the cookies even more ‘chocolatey’ I also add a teaspoon of cacao powder to the dough.

My chocolate crinkle cookies... One of the most easy peasy cookie recipes I have ever made! And the cutest afternoon snack too...

Course: Dessert, Snack

Cuisine: American

Servings: 16 cookies

Calories per serving: 86 kcal

Ingredients

• 3 oz plain flour (85 g)
• 3 oz dark chocolate (85 g), chopped up
• 1 oz almonds (28 g), roasted and crushed
• 3 oz caster sugar (85 g)
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 oz unsalted butter (28 g)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp icing sugar
• 1 medium egg
• salt

Instructions

1. Take a heat resistant mixing bowl. Add the chocolate and butter and place the bowl over a pan of boiling water (bain marie) to melt the chocolate.

   

2. Stir while it melts. Then take the bowl off the heat and let the mixture cool for a while.

   

3. Transfer the egg and caster sugar to a high cup and whisk it well. This mixture should turn pale and creamy in the end.

   

4. Add it to the melted and slightly cooled chocolate. Also add the flour, almonds, baking powder, cocoa powder and milk. Season with a pinch of salt.

   

5. Stir gently again until you get a firm dough. Cover the bowl with some cling film and let the dough set for 30 minutes. Then divide the cookie dough into small portions.

   

6. Roll them into balls. Rinse your hands with cold water if the chocolate balls become too stick. Place the balls onto a clean plate.

   

7. Put them in the fridge for another 10 minutes. Coat the balls with a little icing sugar (pour the sugar in a deep plate or cup). Cover a baking tray with some parchment paper. Place the coated chocolate balls on top of it.

   

8. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for 15 minutes. Let them cool down at room temperature. The cookies are still a little soft to the touch, but they will become harder as soon as they cool down.
