CHOCOLATE CRINKLE COOKIES



Chocolate Crinkle Cookies image

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.

KRIS KRINGLE SUGAR COOKIES



Kris Kringle Sugar Cookies image

My husband's German mom made these cookies every year for the family and to give away to anyone who visited during the Christmas season. She had batches squirreled away everywhere in her house! I have no idea how many batches she made....but boy, are they good. I decided to follow the tradition with my children and now I am making cookies with my grandchildren. I am not sure exactly what makes these so good, maybe the baking powder...but enjoy...

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and make it easier to work with. This will also help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to ensure that all of your cookies are the same size and shape. This will help them to bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center, and then remove them from the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Kriss Kringle cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holidays. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a little creativity, you can create Kriss Kringle cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family.
