Hi guys I'm Laura Vitale and on this episode of Laura in the Kitchen I'm going want share
with you my chocolate crinkles. There chocolate crinkle cookies, I just call them my chocolate
crinkles. They're really really good, they've got a great texture there so adorable and
I'm thrilled to share the recipe with you. Let me take you over the ingredients so we
can get started. You'll need all purpose flour, some cocoa powder, instant espresso powder,
salt, and baking powder. Granulated sugar, eggs, unsalted butter that's been softened
at room temperature, vanilla extract, and you'll also need some confectioner's sugar
or powdered sugar, but that'll come a little bit later. So lets get started. I've got my
big standing mixture fitted with a paddle attachment and in here I'm going to add in
my butter that's been softened and I'm going to cream that together with my sugar. Get
those to combine, it won't be perfectly creamy but that's okay. In the mean time I'm going
to mix together my dry ingredients and if you don't want to add instant espresso powder
you don't have to I personally think that a little bit of coffee into chocolate is not
enough to make it taste like mocha and coffee-like I just put enough to make the chocolate taste
really chocolaty and deliciousness. If you don't want to add it you don't have to, but
it does make a difference. So that's looking good I'm not going to be to worried about
cause its not going to be supper creamy so to that I'm going to add in my eggs and a
splash of vanilla and then wait for it all to get nice and combined. That looks good
enough. Alright lets get the dry ingredients in here. Did I get all spill that all over
the place, no, I managed to not hardly spill anything at all. Whoa but I did manage to
get a cocoa facial. Okay all I'm going to do is mix together I'm until it is nicely
combined and that's it. Now this does have to go in the fridge, the dough has to go in
the fridge has to cool and set for a minimum of about three hours. I'm probably going leave
mine it in there for about three or four hours depending on how much time I have. You can
do this up to overnight and which will be great, but a minimum of three hours should
do it. So I'm just going for this to get all incorporated and then we'll get out of here
and into the fridge. Oakie doke lets get all out of there. Bit of a tricky situation. And
now all I'm going do is wrap this in some plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge for
several hours and then we'll get going on forming them and popping them in the oven.
My cookie dough was in the fridge for about four hours now I have my oven preheated to
350F I've got as baking sheet lined with parchment paper and I also have some confectioner's
sugar here. I'm going form mine with my little ice cream scoop. Take your dough, it may be
a little tricky at first but there you go, and than I just roll it with my hands, dip
it into your confectioner sugar, and place them a couple of inches apart on your baking
sheet. My cookies are going to go into the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they're
all crackly looking. Let them cool and than I'm going show you what they look like when
their done. My cookies were in the oven for exactly 12 minutes and I have let them cool
for about 20 minutes now so they are ready for me to dig in. And you can see they are
absolutely beautiful so so perfect for any occasion I'm going go right in to this one
over here. Look at the interior. It's almost like a mix between a cookie and a brownie,
let's call it a "bookie" a brownie cookie a "bookie". They are undeniably one of the
best cookies you'll ever eat. I promise. They're not really thin and crispy cookie, there chewy
and soft, flavorful, chocolaty I don't think you could want anymore. Mmm - look at that.
I've been chewing for the past six years here. LauraintheKitchen.com will have the recipe for you. I hope you have
enjoyed spending time with me, and I hope that you are happy now that you've got your
chocolate crinkle cookie recipe that you have all been requesting for so so long. Hope that
you've enjoyed spending time with me and I'll see you next time. Good bye.
So we can get started [snort]. I rock to the beat of my own snap. Ready?
