Chocolate Crinkle Cookies – Soft Chewy Choco Cookies, just in time for the Holidays!
I feel that 12 months are not enough in a year to dream fantasies, chase my dreams, keep up my resolutions and do what I intended to do. With every passing year, I end up half-baked. What do you say, guys?
There are yet two more weeks to welcome 2017 and my mind has been constantly resonating my experiences every single minute. Though I haven’t achieved anything great, I could strongly say that 2016 has been one of the best years so far. And of course, so special as it’s my last year in the 20's! When I entered 20’s after the vibrant teenager, I felt so proud of myself as I have grown up to a WOMAN. It has been a decade of wonderful achievements (now, again don’t ask me as what are those.) – my first job, first month salary, my first rented house where I lived in my own utopian world, lots of love from family, genuine friends, career, my first international travel, my first blog and finally – my D-day. Lots and lots of memories to stack in my tiny little volatile mind. I had matured so much as a woman from a girl in these years. Such a lovely transformation! My mind was occupied with inquisitive questions as I entered my 20’s. It was a different world altogether for me when I joined my job. But through the path, I have explored myself and transformed much.
Back then, I used to have a lengthy conversation in mind to select the outfit for my day. How silly I would have been? Where did that silly girl do? Now, the discussions revolve around the blog, technology, investment etc. Wish I should have been that silly girl fighting for a pink color cake pop. But then, life has to move on! Here I am, entering my 30’s much more determined and strong. Hope it will give me ample reasons to resonate back.
With Christmas around, I know everyone would be occupied with festive preparations. I have been baking a lot in recent days. There were few recipes which turned out excellent on my first try and there were some epic failures too. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies is a charm which baked to the perfection at first time itself. Oh God, they were so soft chewy and melted in the mouth! Anything baked with chocolate always interests me and these crinkle cookies are perfect for my choco cravings. They serve as a great option to gift someone, especially kids. I baked a batch and we emptied in a couple of days. I know that I would be baking another batch for Christmas party.
Here is the recipe for Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Soft
Chewy
Loaded with Chocolate
Dusted in Powdered Sugar
Perfect Edible Gift
This is all you want! Just in time for the Holidays
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 cup Sugar
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 4 tablespoon Unsalted Butter at room temperature
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar for dusting
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking tray with the parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients together and mix them well.
- In another bowl, add eggs, vanilla extract, and butter; whisk them well.
- Now, add dry ingredients to the egg mixture slowly and combine them evenly.
- Do not overmix. Cover the dough with a lid and chill for an hour. Actually, there is no need to chill them. But then, it’s easy to form rounds using a chilled dough.
- After chilling, take a spoon of dough and rotate them into small balls.
- Dust the balls with the powdered sugar. Repeat the same with the remaining dough.
- Arrange the balls on the baking tray and bake them for 10-15 minutes.
- We don’t want them to overbake as we want them chewy.
- Let it stand on the baking tray for 10 minutes. Transfer them to the cooling rack and allow them to cool down.
- You can see the crinkles on top of the cookies. Each cookie will have its own texture at the top but everyone sounds delish.
Serve crinkle cookies warmly or have them once they are cooled down completely. I prefer to have them warm. Or, wrap them in a box and gift to your friends.
