Chocolate Crinkles Recipe

This chocolate crinkles recipe is super easy- only 4 ingredients! And it makes the softest, chewiest, and most delicious chocolate cookie you'll ever eat! A perfect holiday treat!

Holiday cookies seem to center around the butter cookie/sugar cookie variety- with some molasses/gingerbread kinds thrown in for good measure. But where is all of the chocolate? I mean- chocolate chip cookies are a little too “every-day” for the holidays, don't you think? (Ha- my kids wish that they had chocolate chip cookies every day!).

Which is why I love to make these Chocolate Crinkles cookies during the holidays!

How to Make Chocolate Crinkles

The dough for these cookies is crazy-sticky… even when chilled. So the best way to handle it is to drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into a pie dish filled with powdered sugar.

Roll the dough around a bit in the sugar using your fingertip…

And then once it's nice and coated in powdered sugar, then use your hands to shape it into a plump round ball.

And be sure not to over bake these cookies- you want them to be set, but to hold onto their chewy goodness!

I've made this same recipe with different types of cake mix- including lemon and red velvet- and they are all equally delicious. But at the holidays, it's the chocolate cookie that I crave!
