Fudgy Crinkle Cookies
Everyone has had a chocolate crinkle cookie, right?? These cookies are ubiquitous around the holidays, and with good reason! They are the ultimate in fudgy chocolate decadence. Chocolate just never lets you down, you know? Every day we have to come up with a new excuse. “It’s a long way to the North Pole…” “There must have been a snow storm…” I think we’re slowly crushing our kid’s spirits. Also, Truman told me about a friend of his who’s Elf was OUTSIDE one morning, and one elf who brought them hot chocolate, and another who was swimming in a mini pool of marshmallows. Can you Other Moms stop being so darn creative already?? I can’t even remember to move mine, let alone come up with adventurous/naughty things for him to do. But at least I can play the cookie card. Next time they wake up to Elfie in the same exact spot maybe I’ll just tell them we’re having these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies for breakfast, and they’ll forget all about it. Right?? Mom of the year right here. Lots of recipes for these cookies call for doctoring up a cake mix, like the cookies for these Homemade Oreos. NO thank you. Cake cookies are good if they are smeared with vanilla buttercream, or have something else going on, but in my opinion when you eat them straight-up, they are nothing to write home about. These cookies are from scratch deliciousness. There are tons of different recipes for Chocolate Crinkle Cookie out there, but I created one that uses REAL chocolate, plus cocoa powder on top of it. They are ultra chocolate-y and ultra fudgy. We’re also using oil in these cookies, instead of butter. Don’t worry, you will not miss the flavor. The chocolate in this recipe really does take care of you. Actually, the ingredients for this recipe resemble a brownie more than they do a cookie. I just realized that. NOT COMPLAINING. That’s what makes them so fudgy! Oil and real chocolate ftw. These chocolate crinkle cookies are really delicate when they come out of the oven. They are supposed to be pretty soft when you take them out. If you let them cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes, they will firm up. They are PERFECT. Anyone else struggle to find something fun to do with your elf on the shelf every night before Christmas? I’m terrible at it but I love pulling this cookie card in a pinch!
