As the weather is again a little gloomy today, it's time to publish these little cookies with an INCREDIBLE texture. They're melt-in-your-mouth soft and chewy, as if they were stuffed with powdered almonds, even though there's not an ounce of them! I call them: chocolate crinkles!
If you're addicted to food blogs, you've probably already seen this recipe called "crinkles". I couldn't find the origin of the recipe, so I won't mention anyone in particular, but their reputation precedes them: crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside! In any case, this recipe is perfect with a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon (as a post-match consolation snack, if you know what I mean...).
The best thing about this recipe is that it uses only ingredients we all have in our cupboards. However, you'll have to wait for the dough to cool (about two hours), before you can shape the cookies. But then, 10 minutes of baking and they're ready!
Speaking of baking, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that you only have a few days left to enter the competition to win the book "Gâteau sans cuisson" published by Marabout :
