CHOCOLATE-MINT CRACKLES



Chocolate-Mint Crackles image

The tops of these brownie-like cookies look as if they've been shattered. Coat the balls of dough thoroughly in confectioners' sugar before they go in the oven. They'll flatten and "crack" on their own as they bake.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 4h

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon pure mint extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and cocoa in a small bowl.
  • Whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in melted chocolate and mint extract until smooth. Stir in flour mixture. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls using your palms, then roll in confectioners' sugar to coat. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 1 inch apart. Bake until slightly firm in the center, about 15 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly on sheets set on wire racks. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt or buttermilk.
  • Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar just before baking to help them crinkle.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. Overbaking will make them dry.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mint crinkles are a delicious and festive holiday cookie. They are easy to make and are always a hit with family and friends. With their rich chocolate flavor and minty finish, these cookies are sure to be a favorite. So next time you're looking for a special cookie to bake, give chocolate mint crinkles a try.
