These chocolate crinkle cookies are a part of my basic batters since there are so many different ways to dress them. You can literally make a 100 different cookies from this recipe. The white powdered sugar is what gives the cookie that contrast of dark to white. Once you make the chocolate dough balls you can roll them into any topping you like. Powder sugar will sit on top of the crinkles that appear giving them the dark and white contrast. Unsweetened cocoa creates a powder texture around the cookie center. Cinnamon, chocolate or colored sprinkles add not only flavor but color as well. Colored sugar can be used for the holiday of your choice. #chocolate #crinkle #cookies See my York Mint Sugar Cookies and also Ultimate Cookie Bloopers for more recipes.

  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls thrn roll the ball in your sugar
  • Place them 2 inches apart on the sheet
  • Refrigerate dough and cookie sheet for about 15 minutes. You will get a better shaped cookie this way because the butter doesn't spread so fast while cooking.

  • Allow to cool on wire rack about 15 minutes before plating.

  3. I love finding a chocolate crinkle cookie on a holiday dessert tray. Especially when they are not cooked too much and have a nice soft center. I never thought about rolling them in sprinkles or other Christmas edible decorations. How fun would that be? Thanks for the great ideas. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

    • I love these too. I prefer the powdered sugar. I must confess my sprinkles NEVER stay put and end up on the pan and the floor! LOL! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    • Those look so good! Unfortunately my granddaughter and I are now the only sweet eaters in my home and she beys migraies from food dye. The natural dyes aren’t as appealing to the eye, so now I just drool over the photos! Let me know if you make them! Merry Christmas!
