Brownie Crinkle Cookies
Description
This recipe for Brownie Crinkle Cookies starts by melting bittersweet chocolate and butter, which is then combined with sugar and eggs beaten to light and fluffy. Dry ingredients including flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt are folded in, along with semi-sweet chocolate chips, creating a luscious batter that is chilled to firm up for easier scooping. The dough balls are rolled in powdered sugar before baking.
Baking at 350°F sets the edges while the surface cracks, creating the characteristic crinkle pattern. The cookies maintain a soft, chewy crumb and rich chocolate flavor throughout. Letting the cookies cool fully before handling helps them keep their shape and texture. The recommended scoop size aids consistent cookie size for even baking.
Freezing the unbaked dough allows making batches in advance and baking as desired. Care must be taken not to overbake to preserve the fudgy texture and pronounced crackled tops.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate 283 grams
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 ounces or 57 grams
- ½ cup all-purpose flour bleached, quantity 2.2 ounces or 63 grams
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder quantity 0.8 ounces or 24 grams
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar quantity 7.1 ounces or 200 grams
- 3 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Brownie crinkle cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F or 175°C.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or heat-proof bowl over a pan with an inch of water and let it cool slightly as you make the cookies.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer or medium-sized bowl if you are using a hand mixer, beat the sugar and eggs together on medium speed for about four to five minutes until it is light yellow in color.
- Add the vanilla extract and beat on medium speed for one minute.
- Add in the melted chocolate and beat until mixed.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low or by hand just until the dry ingredients have been combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Put the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes to make the batter easier to scoop. Meanwhile, line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Put the powdered sugar into a small bowl, and use a medium-sized cookie scoop or two spoons to scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough into the bowl. Toss with the powdered sugar and put on the baking sheet.
- Repeat with the rest of the brownie cookie dough, leaving 1 to 2 inches between cookie balls.
- Bake for about 9 to 10 minutes. The tops will be cracked, and the cookies should still be slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool fully on the cookie sheet.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is important for scoopability but avoid leaving it too long to prevent difficulty in scooping.
- Use a #40 cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) for uniform cookie sizes.
- You can freeze unbaked dough scoops on a sheet overnight for later baking.
- Bake just until edges are set and tops are cracked to keep a fudgy texture.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the tray before moving to maintain shape.
