Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and instant espresso powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter until smooth. You can use a wooden spoon or handheld mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of chilled dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the dough ball generously in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly and the powdered sugar coating is crackly.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Mocha Crackle Cookies with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
