Chocolate Crinkles
Greg DuPree
Roll the dough in a generous dose of confectioners’ sugar before baking to achieve this pretty snowy effect.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
With an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
Step 3
Form the dough into balls (each equal to 1 level tablespoon). Roll the balls in the confectioners’ sugar and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are firm and the tops crack, 13 to 15 minutes.
Step 4
Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Note: Total Time includes cooling time.

These were 5 stars, according to my hungry family! I bake for my parents and my siblings, and they said I should make this a regular weekly recipe! No need to add vanilla extract! Instead of using parchment paper, I simply brushed butter onto the pan and preheated the oven in 175 Celsius! Oh, and I made an account here just to comment on this particular recipe! I waited for the butter to soften and mixed it with the sugar by hand not by mixer, if that changes anything (it probably does)...

Hi, I'm Wolff. I really enjoy baking and this recipe appealed to me a lot. I really love to make cookies! But I was reading the other comments and realized that the recipe might not be as good unless I add vanilla extract. Anyone have recommendations as to how much I should use?

Not good at all. We LOVE any kind of sweets. These cookies were very dry and had no flavor. I would try a different recipe. We had to throw these away.

I have read through the comments first before I tried out the recipe and I have added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and an extra egg and some more flour. The dough was very sticky and I didn't even get nearly enough icing sugar on them to make them look like in the picture, but the taste was excellent. So light, fluffy and chocolatey with a hint of vanilla, very nice! Will definitely bake them again

Disappointing. My mother makes a very similar cookie and I decided to make this recipe instead for a cookie exchange. Mistake. This recipe seemed like a simpler version of my mothers...wrong. Simple cookie, simple taste. Also, my cookies didn't really spread while baking and stayed in their ball-like shape. Really blah. Real Simple - do you test your recipes??

This recipe turned out horrible for me. SO DRY and BLAND. I even added some vegetable oil and vanilla extract and I still trashed it all. :(

I have been making chocolate crinkles for at least 20 years. This is not the original recipe. The original does not contain brown sugar and does contain vanilla.

This is very good. An old friend used to make these for my daughter when she was little and I thought of her while I was making them. To form the balls, coat the left hand with powdered sugar and drop balls of dough from a spoon. Then form the balls with the left hand. I did not find them boring.

I may have a very simple palate but I really liked these. My kiddos did, too. As suggested below, you DO need to use a LOT of confectioners sugar to get them to look like the photo.
