Instructions
Creating the Best Cinnamon Coffee Crinkles is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 15 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and the dough to firm up slightly.
6. Form the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until generously coated.
7. Place on Baking Sheets: Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look slightly cracked and soft in the center.
9. Cool on Racks: Once baked, remove the sheets from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
