Fast and Easy Recipe

This recipe is incredibly easy. You don’t need to cream the butter and sugar. There is no need to stick the dough in the fridge before you bake them. And you will not need to roll them out and cut them. They are simple drop cookies with a powerful chocolate flavor.

You will love how quick this recipe comes together.  Just melt the butter, add it to the sugars, eggs, and vanilla then stir in the dry ingredients. Once the oven is up to temperature, drop the cookie dough on a baking sheet and stick them in the oven. If you are like us and want a perfectly round cookie then you can roll the dough in a pretty little ball before baking the cookies. If you skip that step, the cookies will still turn out perfectly fine.

The little balls of cookie dough spread out on their own and become thin crunchy cookies. If you under-bake them by a couple of minutes they will have crisp edges and chewy centers.  You just can’t go wrong!!

The Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need for this crispy chocolate cookies recipe.

• Flour. You don’t need a special flour for these crispy cookies. All-purpose flour works great.
• Baking soda.
• Salt.
• Cocoa powder. Use unsweetened cocoa powder. You can purchase it in the baking aisle of the grocery store. Don’t get it confused with sweetened chocolate drink mixes.
• Espresso powder. The espresso powder is optional but it will give the cookies more depth of flavor. It brings enhances the flavors in the chocolate.
• Butter. You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. If you use salted butter, it will not add too much salt to the cookies.
• Sugar. We used granulated white sugar AND brown sugar in this crisp chocolate cookie recipe.
• Eggs.
• Vanilla extract.
• Chocolate chips. We used mini chocolate chips to keep the cookies thin. Using mini chocolate chips also means you get more chocolate chips per square inch.

These crispy chocolate cookies are perfect for using in our Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake. They can be made several days ahead of time if you keep them stored in an airtight container or in the freezer.

You can also crumble them up and stir them into the batter for our intense chocolate cake.
