Christmastime is my favorite time of the year, and one of my most cherished Christmas traditions is baking holiday cookies! Well, baking anything, really, but especially cookies! I’ve made Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies in the past, but this was our first time making this Mocha Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipe and it was so good!

Just make sure that you generously coat the Mocha Chocolate Crinkle Cookies with powdered sugar so that you have a really good crinkle effect!

Mocha Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg whites
1/3 cup sour cream
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, add butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, coffee and baking soda. Beat well until combined. Dough may be stiff.

Add vanilla, egg whites and sour cream and beat well. Add flour and beat just until combined. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a teaspoon scoop, scoop dough into your palm and roll into a ball. Dip into powdered sugar and generously coat the dough.

Place onto prepared baking sheet, 2″ apart, and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool completely on a wire rack.
