Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 12 oz bittersweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup Sambuca
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions:
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: Begin by sifting together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. This ensures a smooth texture for your cookie dough.
-
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until you achieve a smooth, glossy consistency. This luxurious mixture will form the base of your decadent cookies.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the large eggs, chopped walnuts, Sambuca, and granulated sugar until well combined. This mixture adds richness and depth of flavor to your cookie dough.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. The dough will be thin, but fear not; chilling will help it firm up.
-
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until it becomes firm. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor in your cookies.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) in preparation for baking these delectable treats.
-
Prepare Coating: Sift the confectioners’ sugar onto a plate. This will be used to generously coat your cookie dough balls, giving them that classic crinkle appearance.
-
Shape the Cookies: Roll heaping tablespoons of the chilled dough into balls, then roll them in the confectioners’ sugar until they are generously coated. This step adds sweetness and texture to your cookies.
-
Bake: Arrange the coated dough balls on two lightly greased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies in the upper and lower thirds of your oven, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Bake until the cookies are puffed and cracked on the outside but still slightly soft in the center, about 10 to 12 minutes in total.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, these Chocolate Sambuca Crinkle Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re indulging in a sweet treat on a cozy night in or sharing them with loved ones at a festive gathering. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor combined with the subtle hint of Sambuca, and savor every delightful bite!
