Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Chocolate crinkle cookies, the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth! Soft and chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and packed with rich chocolate flavor.

These cookies are a classic favorite, sure to become a staple in your household.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough into your hands and roll them into balls.

Then, roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.

Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.

Make sure to use room-temperature butter for easier creaming.

Don’t overmix the dough, as it can lead to tough cookies.

The granulated sugar coating gives the cookies their signature crinkle, so don’t skip this step! For an extra-crunchy coating, try using turbinado sugar instead.

If you want a chewier cookie, bake for 10-11 minutes instead.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
