CHOCOLATE CRACKLE COOKIES

A variegated pattern of deep dark chocolate and pure white powdered sugar makes these crinkly cookies a striking study in contrast. Roll balls of the rich dough first in granulated sugar, then in confectioners' sugar. The first layer ensures that the second one retains its snowy white appearance.

Yield Makes 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring. Set aside, and let cool. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Mix butter and brown sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in eggs and vanilla, and then the melted chocolate. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the milk. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Wrap each in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

GOOEY CHOCOLATE CRACKLE COOKIES



Gooey Chocolate Crackle Cookies image

This is the absolute favorite cookie in my house. I've been using this exact recipe for the past 6-8 years which originally came from a high school cafeteria cookbook. It was tough trying to get this recipe, then after I got it, it was for 350 servings ! It's now scaled down to 4 dozen, but they don't last long...maybe 350 cookies IS the way to go ! ETA: Reviewers have added an extra cup of flour to the mix with success. I still make them as originally posted.

CHOCOLATE CRACKLE COOKIES



Chocolate Crackle Cookies image

I think this recipe is older than I am... I can remember making them as a very small child. Then, I shared the recipe in 3rd grade for a recipe book. If there is any cookie that reminds me most of the holiday season, it's these... The dough gets stiff to mix, but otherwise, it's a perfect easy recipe for children.

Provided by Lydia Eichert Messerschmidt

Categories     Chocolate

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pkg devil's food chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
1 Tbsp warm water
1/2 c solid vegetable shortening (crisco)
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In mixing bowl, beat eggs, add water & shortening, then mix in cake mix.
  • 2. Mix with fork to help break up shortening, then with a stiff spoon. Dough will start to get thick. Just be sure all the shortening gets mixed in very well.
  • 3. Chill dough in refrigerator for at least an hour, or until ready to bake. (the prep time listed above accounts for the time to chill the dough)
  • 4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use greased cookie sheets.
  • 5. Roll dough into balls the size of a walnut, then roll in confectioner's sugar. Place on cookie sheets 12-to-sheet - they will spread a little when they bake.
  • 6. Bake 9-11 minutes, with moist fudgy centers.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up.
