Tips For This BEST Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipe
- Prepare the dough in advance, overnight is the best, or at least 4 hours before. It sets the dough properly and becomes easy to roll. If dough rolling is not easy, then let it refrigerate for a little more time.
- Let the dough balls get well coated in powdered sugar, to get a good snow white top.
- Do not overbake the cookies, remove them when the cracks are developed and edges set.
- When removed from the oven, they seem soft, these cookies keep baking as they cool and will harden more as they cool. If baked longer, there will be no fudgy center.
- Smaller doughs require less time, for baking. 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie will take 10 minutes, and 2 tablespoons will take nearly 12 – 15 minutes.
- If you want to prepare a few brownie crinkle cookies, only the required dough can be used and the rest is kept in the freezer.
