Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 7 ounces (200g) dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Sift together dry ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free texture and even distribution of cocoa and flour.
- Create a glossy chocolate base by microwaving chocolate and butter in short bursts, stirring between intervals until completely melted and silky.
- Whip eggs and brown sugar using an electric mixer, transforming the mixture into a light, airy, and voluminous cream.
- Gently incorporate melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, maintaining the delicate air bubbles.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to maintain the batter’s light consistency.
- Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up and enhance flavor development.
- Roll chilled dough into uniform balls, then coat generously in powdered sugar for the signature crinkle effect.
- Arrange cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie tops appear crackled and slightly glossy, indicating perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Create soft, pillowy cookies by not overmixing the batter, which can make them tough and dense.
- Ensure powdered sugar coating is generous and even by rolling dough balls completely before baking for that classic crinkle look.
- Chill dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain the perfect round shape during baking.
- Customize recipe by substituting gluten-free flour blend for traditional flour, making these cookies accessible for different dietary needs.
