Chocolate crinkles are those crackled cookies that have become stars of snack time and celebrations: a cracked powdered sugar shell revealing a dark, fudgy brownie-like center. The visual contrast is spectacular, and the contrast in textures is just as striking.
Good news: they’re surprisingly easy to make. There’s just one golden rule to follow: chill the dough thoroughly before baking, then coat it twice—first in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar—for perfectly defined cracks. The ideal recipe to make with children.
