Chocolate Crackle Cookies
Fudgey crackle cookies made with whole wheat flour and mini chocolate candies.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup butter (1 stick) softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup mini M&M's or baking morsels
- 3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper, or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Stir together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl; whip until light and fluffy (you can use an electric mixer if you’d like).
- Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Add flours, salt and baking soda; mix just until combined.
- Place 1 cup powdered sugar in shallow bowl (I use a cereal bowl, or even a small plate). Shape dough by heaping teaspoons into balls. Roll dough balls in powdered sugar – this is sticky dough. I don’t try to shape perfect little rolled cookie balls until AFTER the “blobs” of dough have a coating of powdered sugar on them; it helps keep the cookie dough from sticking to your hands (think flour and bread dough…).
- Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake about 11min or until set and no longer shiny. Cool 2min on the cookie sheets; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
