Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are so perfect for the holiday season!
I mean come on, how pretty is that powdered sugar crinkle!? Not only are they pretty but they taste amazeballs. They have a slightly gooey inside with the edges being slight harder, kind of like a brownie. And the powered sugar crinkle makes them a Christmas cookie favorite or any time of the year for that matter!
To make these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, I used my new Kenwood Chef Kitchen Machine! Seriously, it makes baking so easy. I highly recommend asking for one this Christmas or if you are like me, buy it for yourself this Christmas. Oh and speaking of gifts, these cookies would make the perfect gift! ♥
JUST A FEW BAKING TIPS:
✓ DON’T OVERMIX: With almost all my cookie recipes, I always make sure to remind you to not OVERMIX the cookie dough. Meaning, when you mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, only mix them together until just combined…you should still see some flour in your mixing bowl.
✓ POWDERED SUGAR FADED!?: It is important to roll the dough in granulated sugar before coating them in powdered sugar. An extra coating of granulates sugar creates a barrier that keeps the powdery, fine-grained powdered sugar from dissolving and disappearing into the dough or melting when the cookies are baking.
