Double Chocolate Coffee Crinkle Cookies Ingredients

• All-purpose Flour: Flour is our foundation for this cookie recipe.
• Cocoa powder: Cocoa powder is another type of flour but this adds that chocolate flavour we love!
• Salt: To balance the overall sweetness.
• Coffee grounds: Adding coffee grounds enhances the flavour of chocolate, and who does not want that? The coffee grounds I use is Kaapittiaq‘s Qajaq Kaapia roast.
• Baking soda: The leavening agent.
• Butter, room temperature: Butter is the fat for the crinkle cookies, also adds flavour!
• Dark brown sugar: Dark brown sugar adds moisture and sweetness. The baking soda will also react to the acidity of brown sugar to help the cookies rise while baking.
• White sugar: To make the cookies tender and for sweetness.
• Eggs: To bind all the ingredients together.
• Vanilla extract: Enhances flavour.
• Chocolate chips: Use milk chocolate, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips!

Ingredients to Enhance the Crinkle

I found this tip on Sally’s Baking Addiction. First roll the cookies in granulated white sugar, then roll in powdered sugar. This method prevents the powdered sugar from turning yellow or dissolving.

How to Bake Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, coffee grounds and baking soda. Set aside.
2. Cream: Using a stand-mixer or hand-mixer, cream together the butter and both sugars. Mix for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
3. Add eggs: Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing in between. Mix in vanilla extract.
4. Add dry ingredients: Mix in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Chill: Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours up to 12 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F.
6. Scoop: Use a cookie scoop to evenly measure each cookie.
7. Roll: Roll each cookie in white granulated sugar and then in powdered sugar. Place cookies 2 baking trays lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Another trick when rolling the cookies in the sugars is heavily roll each cookie in both the granulated sugar and powdered sugar! This prevents the sugar from dissolving and shows off that amazing crinkle!
8. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the pans in the middle. Then let the cookies rest on the pan for additional 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make-ahead: The cookies can be chilled for up to 12 hours. The cookies can be frozen for up to 2 weeks and baked when needed.

Storage: Store the baked cookies in an airtight container for 5 days. 

Chocolate chips: The recipe calls for 1 cup of chocolate chips of your choice! Try milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.

Step 4: Preheating the oven: Preheat the oven for at least 20-30 minutes prior to baking the cookies. This allows the oven to completely heat to the right temperature. 

Step 5: Heavily coat each cookie with granulated sugar and powdered sugar. The granulated sugar prevents the powdered sugar from dissolving or turning yellow. The powdered sugar shows off the crinkle!
