Crinkle cookies are known for their crackly tops that form when baking. These cookies take a roll in powdered sugar before baking, which helps show off that cracking look. 


Chocolate crinkle cookies are like homemade brownies in cookie form. The centers are soft and chewy, while the edges are crispy and crackly. These chocolate crinkle cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
