I’m on the lookout for Kid- Friendly recipes these holidays so that I can involve my girls wherever and whenever possible.
I found this recipe here. Her pictures were absolutely mouth watering. Simple recipe and so easy to make. They were absolutely delicious. Crinkle cookies…………..just in time for Christmas too!
My only disappointment was that my cookies turned out flatter then I expected. My bad. I flattened them out before baking thinking it will rise while baking. but they didn’t. So……….DO NOT flatten them out. Just scoop them onto the baking tray and bake.
the cookies were so fudgy and chewy inside…………just like a brownie!!! I bet you can’t stop with just one!!
MAKES ABOUT 9 THIN ONES OR ABOUT 6 FAT ONES.
INGREDIENTS:
dark chocolate – 100 g
butter – 65 g
caster sugar – 1/3 cup
egg – 1
flour – 1/2 cup
cocoa powder – 1 and 1/2 tbsps
baking powder – 1/2 tsp
sea salt(optional) – sprinkle on top
PROCESS:
- line a baking tray with parchment paper and keep ready.
- preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
- In a saucepan, melt together the butter and dark chocolate. keep stirring and don’t let it burn. keep aside.
- in a bowl place the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder. mix and keep aside.
- in the bowl of your stand mixer or using an electric whisk, whisk together the egg and the sugar on high speed for about 4 minutes.
- then. slowly add the chocolate mixture and whisk on low speed until incorporated.
- change to a a paddle attachment and slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. mix until combined.
- use a spatula and scrape down the sides and bottom to make sure the ingredients are well incorporated. the batter will be gooey. it will definitely be wetter than an average cookie dough and should not spread to much in the pan.
- now use a scoop and quickly drop a large spoon of dough into the baking tray. do it quickly as the batter hardens pretty fast.
- sprinkle with flaked sea salt if using, and immediately place into the oven.
- bake for about 10-12 minutes. the cookies will be crinkled and domed.
- remove from the oven and cool for atleast 20 minutes before trying to remove it from the tray.
NOTES:
- make sure you’re baking tray is lined with parchment paper and kept ready before you start making the batter.
- the cookie batter/dough thickens and hardens very quickly, so as soon as the dough is ready, scoop them into the baking tray and bake them.
