Gooey Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

I’m ready for some holiday baking! I’ve stocked up on butter, sugar, flour and tons of vanilla. So without further ado, here’s my first treat of the season…

Chewy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. Say that 10 times fast. And then forget about it and eat 12 dozen of these cookies. They are just that freaking good. These cookies are just slightly crisp around the outer shell and then they are ooey and gooey, melt in your mouth, and moist cookies when you bite into them. For sure these are my new favorite Christmas cookie! Best part (or could be the worst part depending on how you look at it) is that they are almost too easy to pop in your mouth and enjoy! So keep the Chewy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies coming all season long!

I’ll be baking up goodies for the holiday to share with my friends and family all up and down the west coast as we do a little bit of traveling – and I can’t wait to introduce them to these sweet treats!

  13. I love making these types of cookies! They are the perfect texture and perfect amount of chocolate flavor. Mixing in a bit of espresso powder can taste pretty amazing too, but sometimes I just prefer plain old chocolate. What a great recipe!

  17. I love choc crinkles…I mean who wouldn’t. I am actually thinking about making some for my Christmas competition we are having at work. I feel like it’s a good choice because it’s really good chocolate…how can you beat that? This sounds like a fabulous recipe for them – I might try these today because I need to start my baking, too.

  23. Yum! These look amazing… and with all those eggs and all that cocoa powder, I can only imagine how rich they will be. I am going to make a couple of batches this week, since we have a bunch of cub scouts gathering at our house before going out caroling!

  33. Oh my gosh…everyone loves these! And they are so easy to make! I have a question. How long can the batter last in the fridge? I made some on the 23rd.

    • Hey Allie! It should last about a week! You could easily freeze it too and pull it out when you’re ready to bake some again.

      Thanks!
