CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES

CHOCOLATE MINT CRACKLE COOKIES



Chocolate Mint Crackle Cookies image

A chocolate mint cookie, rolled in powdered sugar that crackles as it bakes. A well received part of my past cookie trays. The original recipe called for mint flavoring, I have found the extract gives a much better flavor. If you really love mint, and can find mint flavored chocolate chips use those instead of semi-sweet.

  • To prevent the chocolate from seizing, ensure the bowl and utensils you are using are completely dry.
  • When melting the chocolate, stir it gently and continuously to prevent it from burning.
  • If you want your crackles to have a more intense mint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
  • For a fun variation, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or crushed candy canes to the melted chocolate before pouring it onto the baking sheet.
  • To make the crackles even more decadent, drizzle them with melted white chocolate or chocolate syrup before serving.
