    Amish Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

    Published: Apr 29, 2014 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    We picked up a plate of chocolate crinkle cookies at an Amish bake sale over the weekend.   Chocolate crinkles are popular cookies in Amish kitchens.   I'll be candid, it was not love at first bite with this cookie.  But by the next day I was smitten and the cookies rapidly started disappearing.  I think they needed a day to be sealed and to soften.  I personally like a softer cookie (when I tried one that first day it was a crunchier cookie, okay tasting but not a blockbuster) but by the second day (after spending a night sealed in a ziploc bag) they had softened which released a wonderful, chocolately flavor.   crinklelyThe dusting of powdered sugar balances out the cocoa just enough to make for a pleasing balance of sweet tastes.  So this really is a good, good cookie.  Sometimes I get so stuck on a cookie having to have frosting to be enjoyable that I forget about ones like this that stand alone on their own merits without being buried in icing.  Give the recipe a try and you won't be disappointed!

      I made these cookies for the first time today. They did not disappoint and are absolutely scrumptious! And that was me eating them on the first day! I did not encounter the same issue the writer here did, but I did wait until they were completely cool before sampling them. Looking forward to tasting one tomorrow after they've spent a night in a sealed Tupperware container. Now I just hope tomorrow will hurry up and get here! 😀
