CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES
The "crinkle" in this recipe's name comes from their distinctive crackle-top. The look is achieved through the transformation of sugar-coated dough balls into distinctively textured cookies. Not only are chocolate crinkle cookies beautiful to look at, they're the perfect combination of chocolatey taste and chewy texture.

CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES
These soft and crackly cookies are a staple in Italian bakeries. The espresso powder is there to complement and elevate the chocolate--it's subtle but totally worth it. For a variation, try spiking these with 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a small bowl.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 1-minute increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Beat the brown sugar and eggs with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until thick, about 2 minutes. Scrape the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and beat until incorporated. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Refrigerate the dough until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out tablespoonfuls of the dough and roll them into balls. Refrigerate half the dough balls. Toss the remaining balls in the sugar, coating them very generously (you shouldn't see any dough peeking through). Arrange the balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until the cookies spread, the tops are dull in color and cracked and the edges are firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. When the baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining dough balls. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:
- To ensure the crinkles have a rich chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder. A Dutch-processed cocoa powder will give the cookies a darker color and a more intense chocolate taste.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar before baking. This will give the cookies their signature crinkled appearance.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are set and the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
