I’m all about rich, decadent, chocolate desserts like chocolate chip brownie cheesecake, brookies, flourless chocolate brownies, cake mix Oreo cookies, and s’mores frozen hot chocolate.

When it’s time to start decking the halls and planning those neighborhood cookie platters, double chocolate crinkle cookies are top of mind. They’re right up there with chocolate chip Rolo cookies, salted caramel bars, and my grammy’s easy homemade fudge.

And guess what? Double chocolate crinkle cookes can make even the scroogiest, grinchiest people smile. I mean, there’s no real research to back me up, but I believe this to be true.

Speaking of making people smile, can we talk about how I love almost every Christmas song (“Last Christmas” and “The Christmas Shoes” make me want to vomit my hot cocoa), but one of my most favorites is “Let It Snow” by Harry Connick Jr. Because TRUMPETS.

I feel like pairing Harry Connick Jr. with chocolate cookie dough rolled in powdered sugar makes for a very magical moment—one we should indulge in as often as possible.

*sigh* I love chocolate crinkle cookies so much.

But I digress.

Why are these double chocolate crinkle cookies more decadent than their single chocolate crinkle counterpart? I’ve taken the classic chocolate crinkles recipe and added a couple pinches of my favorite instant espresso powder (optional but recommended) to enhance the chocolate flavor.

AND THEN I threw in mini semisweet chocolate chips. You’re welcome.

I love how the crinkled powdered sugar looks super snowy on top of all that chocolate yumminess. It’s like these cookies were meant to be eaten while Harry Connick Jr. serenades me with his “Let It Snow.”

    Are the cookies meant to be gooey and soft?

      They’re definitely soft cookies but they should not be gooey or raw. Maybe try cooking them for a little longer?
