Μy absolute Christmas favourite! Too early? I don’t think so! I passed by my neighbourhood supermarket, got into the Christmas spirit, grabbed my ingredients and got busy baking.
They are deliciously chocolatey, soft, almost like a brownie in a cookie form. A special treat for kids AND grown-ups.
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Μy absolute Christmas favourite! Too early? I don’t think so! They are deliciously chocolatey, soft, almost like a brownie in a cookie form. A special treat for kids AND grown-ups.
Ingredients
For 24 cookies
- 230 grams dark chocolate
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 120 grams brown sugar
- 240 grams all-purpose or plain flour
- 1 level tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- About 1 cup icing sugar for coating
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160˚ C, fan.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. Add the butter and stir until melted and the mixture is smooth (it will thicken).
- Beat the eggs with the sugar. Gradually add the chocolate mixture to the eggs and beat until combined.
- Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt. Add the flour to the egg/chocolate mixture. Mix with a spatula until you have a very soft dough. If the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
- Place the icing sugar in a bowl. Shape balls of the mixture into the size of a walnut. Place each ball in the bowl with the powdered sugar and rotate each ball so that the sugar coats the cookie.
- Place the “snowballs” on a baking tray lined with non-stick paper. Bake the cookies for only 10 minutes. Once they are out of the oven, they will look raw. That’s the way they should be. They will firm up as they cool. These cookies are and will remain soft.
