Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a thick and sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to make it easier to handle.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 6

Place the powdered sugar in a small shallow bowl. Use a tablespoon to scoop out dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.

Step 7

Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are cracked and the edges are set. The centers may still look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the Cappuccino Crinkles with a cup of coffee or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
