For a yummy lunchbox snack or afternoon sweet treat, try my Easy Chocolate Crinkles recipe! I guess almost everyone will have tried a chocolate crinkles at some point in their life.
I remember always hoping there would be one tucked inside when I opened my lunchbox a school! Chocolate Crinkles are usually two plain cookies sandwiched together with marshmallow and coated in chocolate. Nowadays of course we like to adapt our traditional favorites and add our own twists! So perhaps you can try using jam, or nutella as a filler, or coating them in peanut crumbs or coconut flakes instead.
Here I’m sharing the basic cookie recipe with you – tasty, chocolatey, crumbly cookies dotted with crunchy walnuts – the finishing touches are up to you!
To make Chocolate Crinkles, you will need the following ingredients:
Beat the shortening and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth.
Whisk the eggs in one by one. Add the vanilla and mix together.
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together into a bowl.
Add the flour mixture a little at a time to the egg mixture, beating until well combined.
Add the walnuts if desired and mix until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Take teaspoons of the dough and roll into balls, until you have used all the dough.
Roll the balls in the powdered sugar and lay on the baking sheet, with 2 inches between each ball.
Put the tray in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Leave the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
So easy to make and so delish! Reminds me of school lunches with friends.
