- 1 cup All-Purpose flour (125g)
- 10 Tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder (53¾g) (½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (4.6g)
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt (¾g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature (113½g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- ½ cup dark brown sugar (packed) (110g)
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4⅓g)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (85g)
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (85g)
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (37½g)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
In a large bowl whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Once mixed set aside.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer and cream the butter, white sugar, dark brown sugar, egg, and vanilla together on medium-high speed for 2 minutes or until fluffy.Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients mixing on low speed.
Add the chocolate chips, and mix until fully distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop out 1½ Tablespoons of dough and using clean hands roll them into a ball. Lightly roll the dough ball first in the white sugar, and then generously in the powdered sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 minutes. Remove from the oven immediately and allow them to cool for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack. Take each cookie and gently dip the tip of the cookie into the powdered sugar and place them back on the wire rack.
STORAGE: These chocolate crinkle cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days.
You can also freeze these cookies for up to 3 months (either the baked cookies or the cookie dough).
TIPS:
- Using a cookie scoop is a good way to ensure uniform-sized cookies that will cook evenly in the oven.
- Make sure enough space is allowed between each cookie to allow for normal spreading while baking.
- Make the cookie dough ahead of time, roll it into balls, and then store them in the freezer to be coated in powdered sugar and baked later.
- To prevent your crinkles from spreading while baking, line the cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat instead of applying cooking spray.
- Gently remove the crinkled cookies from the oven onto the countertop so that you don’t increase the crinkling on the cookies.
