Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (approximately 163ยฐC).
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave, melt the butter and chocolate chips together until the butter melts. Remove from heat and stir until the chocolate melts completely, resulting in a smooth mixture.
- Mix Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla: In the bowl of a mixer, beat together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Chocolate Mixture: Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt into the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or overnight, to allow it to firm up.
- Prepare Confectioners’ Sugar: Pour approximately a cup of confectioners’ sugar into a shallow bowl.
- Shape Dough Balls: Roll the chilled dough into 1 1/4 inch diameter balls (about a heaping teaspoon) and drop them into the bowl of confectioners’ sugar.
- Coat with Sugar: Working with 4-5 dough balls at a time, shake the bowl until the balls are completely coated with sugar, then place them on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each ball.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will flatten out, and the surface will crack.
- Cool: Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
- Final Touch: Once cooled, sprinkle a little extra confectioners’ sugar on top of the cookies using a sifter or a small strainer for a beautiful finishing touch.
These Fudgy Chocolate Crinkles are a delightful indulgence, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings or sharing with friends and family during the holiday season. Enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness in every bite! ๐๐ซ
