Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Makes: 24 cookies
Ingredients
For the cookie dough …
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
To top it off …
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and red food coloring, until no streaks remain.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Grab two containers, fill one with granulated sugar and the other with powdered sugar. Roll the cookie dough into 1 oz / 1 tablespoon sized balls. Coat each cookie with the granulated sugar and then with the powdered sugar. There should be a thick even coating on each cookie dough ball in order to get the satisfying crinkle top.
- Place on the cookie sheet a couple inches apart. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the cookies have risen, cracked, and are slightly gooey in the middle.
- Enjoy your holiday treat!
