Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies have a rich and fudgy center with a crisp powdered sugar outer layer. Crinkle Cookies are just as important as sugar cookies on your holiday cookie tray.

What is a Chocolate Crinkle Cookie?

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are like a cross between gooey Fudgy brownies and crisp chocolate chip cookies . They are rolled in powdered sugar before baking so they form “crinkles” as they expand in the oven.

The best part? Just like a good homemade baklava, these cookies get better as they get a little stale. The outer layer just gets crunchier, while the center stays so gooey. Let’s just say you’ll find yourself hanging around your cookie jar for several days.
