Hello ladies!
Hope you are all having a great day so far. Today, I will share with you a recipe for a yummy dessert, which could also be a snack alongside a glass of ice cold milk! This post, will feature one of my childhood favorite pastries, Chocolate Crinkles.
Chocolate Crinkles is one of the first pastries I learned to bake as an older kid. And why not? It is so easy to make. It is so forgiving actually. Besides, the ingredients are pantry staples! The only downside in this recipe is the wait time before we can form those yummy-yummy balls.
Baking Chocolate Crinkles as a fun activity
Fast forward to when I became a mom, Chocolate Crinkles are just so fun to make with the kids. Kids love messy hands and clay consistency and so making these yummy discs of chocolatey goodness is a walk in the park, and super enjoyable. HOWEVER, like me, they too get impatient about the wait time for chilling or refrigeration.
But after two hours of chilling, the littles get so excited rolling those dough balls, and rolling them once again in powdered sugar. Can I blame them? No, no, no. I was once a kid, so why not share the joy right? More importantly, their crinkle making time is also a time for rest for me. I let them enjoy themselves for a good 20 to 30 minutes, and just re-chill the dough balls so that it will not spread out too thinly while baking.
Let’s bake chocolate crinkles!
So, without further ado, I am now sharing with you, my little familia’s tried and tested go-to recipe for chocolate crinkles. If you decide to double this recipe, just store the left-over crinkles (if any, hahaha – that is how delicious it is!) in a vacuum sealed container.

· Powdered sugar for dusting
Procedure:
Sift the cocoa, flour, and baking powder. Set aside. In a bowl, mix the melted butter and the white sugar until fully combined. Add in the eggs and the vanilla extract. Add the sale into the dry ingredients, and combine it with the wet mixture in two increments.
Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. After two hours, you can now preheat the oven at 350F or 180c. Scoop and form the chilled dough balls according to preferred size. Arrange them in a cookie sheet or baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, and let it set in the pan for another 20 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! Thanks for stopping by, and till next post!
