Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Preparation

• 1
  Mix the melted butter with the eggs and brown sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• 2
  Add the dry ingredients to the butter-egg mixture and mix well until a thick dough forms. Cover the dough with cling film and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• 3
  Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Using a teaspoon, scoop small portions of the dough, form them into balls, and roll them generously in powdered sugar – the sugar layer should be really thick.
• 4
  Place the balls on the baking sheet with some space between them and bake for approx. 10 minutes. After baking, the cookies should still be soft and slightly "underbaked". As they cool, they will become crispy on the outside but remain wonderfully soft and moist on the inside.

  After baking, let them rest on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
