Notes:

  • Do not over bake cookies because it will become harder and also tastes bitter. Chocolate crinkles cookies should be soft and slight chewy.
  • Do not over crowd the baking sheet, cookies should have enough space to spread so leave atleast 2 inch space between cookies.
  • My cookies were ready in 15 mins. Cooking time will vary based on the oven you are using. I got 20 cookies from the above recipe.
  • You can store these cookies in an airtight container for a week or so at room temperature.
