Ingredients & Substitutions

Butter – use unsalted butter and add salt later if desired

Chocolate Chips – use semi-sweet chips or any other good quality chocolate of your choice. For this recipe, I used dark chocolate chips.

Cocoa Powder – use any preferred cocoa powder for this recipe.

All-Purpose Flour – substitute gluten-free 1:1 flour for gluten-free brownie crinkle cookies.

Baking Powder – baking powder helps these cookies rise in the oven to have an airy fudgy center.

Salt – both sea salt and kosher salt work in this recipe. For a lower sodium recipe, omit the salt.

Brown Sugar – tightly pack the brown sugar. Both light and dark brown sugar can be used.

Eggs – due to the texture of these cookies, a vegan egg or flax egg will not work.

Powdered Sugar – powdered sugar adds a beautiful dusting to these cookies. This is completely optional.

Let’s Bake!

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a lined baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat or microwave for 30 seconds until melted.

Add the chocolate chips to the melted butter and stir until combined.

Step 3:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4:

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the eggs and brown sugar in a large bowl on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until frothy.

Step 5:

Next, pour the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture and stir until the chocolate is combined.

Then fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula and mix until a loose batter is formed.

Step 6:

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough and place the cookie dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7:

Bake the cookies for 13 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit.

Step 8:

Remove from oven and serve!

Tips for Success

  • When baking the cookies in the oven be sure not to overbake. Baking time will vary by oven.
  • Be sure to let the cookies cool before serving and dusting with powdered sugar.
  • The batter should be slightly lighter in texture than regular cookie dough.
  • Line the sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from burning on the bottoms.
  • Use a cookie scoop to help scoop out the dough so all cookies are the same size and cook evenly.

What to Serve With

  • These cookies are great paired with a scoop of ice cream or even a hot chocolate.
  • These cookies go really well with my chocolate almond latte.
  • My holiday thumbprint cookies are another great Christmas cookie to make for any holiday party.

    Just made this recipe today and turned out so GOOD! I tried with gluten-free flour since i’m gluten free and my husband was such a fan. Will be making more of these for the holiday with the powdered sugar.
