INGREDIENT NOTES

These are some of the key ingredients for this recipe. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

• Oil: Use a flavor neutral oil, such as canola or rapeseed oil.
• Cocoa powder: I use high quality dutch processed cocoa powder for the best flavor, my favorite is from Valrhona.
• Instant espresso powder: I use 100% arabica instant espresso powder as it dissolves quickly and has a great flavor.
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar gives a delicious rich flavor as well as lots of moister to the cookies.
• Powdered sugar: The cookie dough is rolled in the powdered sugar right before they go into the oven.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Here is how to make and bake these crinkle brownie cookies. This recipe doesn't need an electric mixer. Just two bowls, a hand whisk and a spatula.

The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.

STEP 1: Stir together the flour, espresso powder, baking powder and salt.

STEP 2: In a bowl, with a hand whisk, whisk together the oil, brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined. Then add the cocoa powder and mix until combined. 

STEP 3: Add both eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until combined. Add the flour mixture to the batter and with a spatula fold it together with the batter until combined.

STEP 4: Add a piece of cling film over the dough, so it touches the surface of the dough, and place it in the freezer for 1 hour or in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. 

Preheat the oven to 175ºC/ 350ºF conventional oven. Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper.

STEP 5:  Scoop out the chilled dough with a medium ice cream scoop (2.5 tbsp/1.33 oz). 

STEP 6: Add the dough ball to a bowl with powdered sugar and roll them in it until covered. Place 6 cookie per tray and bake them for 12-14 minutes. Will yield 11 cookies.

EXPERT BAKING TIPS

• Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
• Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
• Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.
