Crinkle Cookies

This recipe comes from the July 8, 2013, People magazine. It was provided by Carla Hall, who owns the cookie company Alchemy. They look delicious! I can’t wait to give them a try.

Crinkle Cookies

4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 large egg
½ cup sugar
¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup mini-chocolate chips
¼ cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Microwave butter and cocoa in a glass bowl on HIGH for 45 seconds. Whisk mixture until smooth; set aside.

Whisk together egg, sugars, salt and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add egg mixture to chocolate mixture, whisking until well-blended.

Whisk flour and baking powder together in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into chocolate mixture until well-blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes or until dough is firm enough to handle easily.

Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop dough and form into ¾-inch balls; roll in powdered sugar. Arrange cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes. Cool cookies 1 minute on baking sheet; transfer to wire rack and cool completely.

Makes about 4 dozen.
