Crinkle Cookies
Crinkle Cookies are classic chocolate cookies with a crackled white sugar crust, made with cocoa powder, butter and eggs. The Thermomix TM7 weighs every ingredient directly in the bowl, whips the eggs airy and mixes the cocoa dough evenly. Ideal as a sweet snack or dessert with a fudgy interior and crisp crackled top.
About this recipe
Crinkle Cookies Thermomix TM7 are the ultimate chocolate biscuit: a dramatic white crackled sugar crust over a dense, fudgy cocoa centre. Searching for easy cookie recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This is the one. The dough relies on unsweetened cocoa powder, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract, and the Thermomix TM7 handles every step: weighing the flour straight into the mixing bowl, whipping the eggs and sugar until pale and ribbony, then blending everything into a uniform chocolate dough without a single wooden spoon. After a chill in the fridge, scoops of dough are rolled in icing sugar so the surface cracks beautifully in the oven. Perfect as an afternoon snack with milk, a lunchbox treat for children or a show-stopping addition to a festive dessert table, these cookies look far harder to make than they actually are.
Preparation tips
- Chill the cocoa dough thoroughly before rolling: a firm dough holds its round shape better and creates deeper, more dramatic cracks in the icing sugar crust during baking.
- Roll each dough ball generously in icing sugar, pressing lightly so the coating sticks. A thick white layer contrasts beautifully with the dark chocolate cookie as it bakes and splits.
- Store the baked Crinkle Cookies in an airtight tin with a slice of bread to keep them fudgy. You can also freeze scooped dough balls and bake a few fresh whenever guests arrive unexpectedly.
Recipe variations
- Make a mocha version by dissolving a spoon of instant espresso powder into the melted butter: the coffee deepens the cocoa flavour and gives the crinkle cookies a grown-up, almost brownie-like character.
- For a festive peppermint variant, add a drop of peppermint extract to the dough and crush candy canes into the icing sugar coating for red-and-white Christmas crinkle cookies that children love.
