Fudgey Chocolate Brownie Crinkle Cookies

Brownie crinkle cookies are soft and tender with fudgey middles and crisp edges. Roll them in powdered sugar for a sweet crinkle top!

Prep: 30 minCook: 11 minTotal: 40 min
Servings: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sea salt
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Line the baking sheet or a silicone baking sheet.
  3. In a stand mixer or a large bowl with a whisk, beat the softened butter and coconut sugar until they are well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until they are fully combined.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients, including cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing, ensuring that all the dry ingredients are incorporated. The resulting dough will be thick and sticky.

  5. Add the heaping 2 cups of chocolate chips to the dough and mix by hand until they are evenly distributed.

  6. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 20-30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking, resulting in thicker cookies with a better shape.
  7. Once the dough has chilled, scoop out 1-2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until it is well coated.

  8. Place the coated cookies on the lined baking sheet and press them to slightly flatten. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11 minutes. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-bake.

  9. Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them. However, you can also enjoy them warm if desired. Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
