Soft, chewy cookies with a warm blend of cinnamon and subtle coffee, rolled in powdered sugar for a classic crinkle look. Quick to make and perfect for cozy gatherings or an afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding by hand just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If dough is too sticky, let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls.
  8. Roll each dough ball generously in powdered sugar, coating well. For extra crinkles, roll twice.
  9. Arrange coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are puffed and tops have cracked. Centers should look slightly underbaked.
  11. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve warm, at room temperature, or with coffee.

Notes

Double-coat dough balls in powdered sugar for dramatic crinkles. Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Dough can be frozen before baking. Add mini chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
