Chocolate crinkle cookies

I never really make cookies. I don’t know why or well, maybe just to prevent myself from eating the entire stack. That is a very good reason not to make them. 🙂 Growing up – as you might know by now – my mom hated cooking and trying to dig through my memory I don’t think we ever made cookies together.

I did bake cookies when I was at my friends house. Her mom always made those ‘sand cookies’ which you could make into any kind of shape so my friend and I loved to do that. And – as usual – we also would end up eating most of the dough… Not the healthiest thing to do, but I loved it!

Easy cookies

For some reason, even though I now bake a LOT every year, the cookie thing never stuck with me. Maybe because they do not excite me as a beautiful cake, bundt or pie does. It’s just what it is; a cookie. Flat and small. And even though I’ve seen many gorgeous examples of beautifully made works or art that are then called a cookie, it is not something I am likely to make a lot of.

However, when I saw this recipe for these chocolate crinkle cookies I just wanted to try them out. The recipe is very simple and the only real time requirement is the cooling in the fridge (1,5 hour) Other then that; it is super easy. Do make sure your oven is at the right temperature or the crinkle effect will be lost. As I found out myself.

Delicious and fudgy

For the first batch of chocolate crinkle cookies I accidentally put the oven on 140˚C (284˚F) and because it therefore took too long for the cookies to rise, they became quite flat. And were missing all the crinkles. And obviously making chocolate crinkle cookies you want them to have those cracks across the top.

The inside of these chocolate crinkle cookies is a lot like a brownie. Nice and soft and fudgy, while the outside has a bit of crunch. Absolutely delicious and aren’t these perfect for your Christmas cookie table (not that you would maybe have a Christmas cookie table, but it sounds good doesn’t it?)
