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.
  • Divide each piece into 16 (1-inch) balls. Roll in granulated sugar to coat, then in confectioners' sugar to coat. Space 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake until surfaces crack, about 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers up to 3 days.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • If you don't have any peppermint extract, you can use a few drops of peppermint oil instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chocolate mixture. It should be thick and glossy, but not grainy.
  • Let the chocolate mixture cool completely before adding the rice cereal. This will help prevent the cereal from getting soggy.
  • If you want to make the crackles even more minty, you can add a few drops of green food coloring to the chocolate mixture.

Conclusion:

These minty chocolate crackles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up any leftover chocolate you may have. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these crackles a try!
