Chewy Chocolate Crinkles

This is my all-time favorite cookies since my childhood days. I used to buy them at our school canteen and love how they melt inside my mouth. It has been a decade I think since I have eaten this so as I was browsing on the net and looking for interesting bakes, I saw this through youtube and I said to myself  "I got to try and make these!"

Chewy Chocolate Crinkles

And so I did. I never imagined this will be so easy to make. So here it is, a simple step by step guide on how to make this heavenly snack (or dessert). Enjoy this with a cup of tea or milk while reading your book of the month.

For the ingredients, you will need the following (Sorry, I missed to take a picture of the ingredients as I was so ecstatic to see my finish product):

Chewy Chocolate Crinkles


300 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
150 grams unsalted butter, 
2 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners/icing sugar

After baking: Chewy Chocolate Crinkles

1. Melt the chocolate chips and the butter over a double broiler. Set aside and let it cool.


2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and the granulated sugar, until creamy in texture.


3. Then add the vanilla extract/essence. 


4. Afterwards, add in the cooled down chocolate and butter mixture. Make sure it is at room temperature as you don't want your mixture to melt and the egg to be cooked.


5. Mix all your dry ingredients in a separate bowl - all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. It is best to sift them all together to make sure that all are blended evenly.


6. You may now add in your dry ingredients mixture to your chocolate mixture. Beat until everything is well incorporated.


7. Transfer the batter in a new bowl and cover it with a plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours. You may keep it there overnight also. This way we can make the batter into balls.


8. When it is hard enough to form into balls, preheat your oven to 350F.


9. Using an ice cream scooper or a tablespoon, form your batter into small balls. Let it roll over the confectioners sugar, until it has been fully covered.


10. Place it in a cookie sheet 1.5 inches apart as it will expand while baking.


11. Bake it for 8 to 15  minutes depending on your oven.


12. Let it cool a little bit. You may serve this warm or chilled.
