The only way a chocolate cookie can be made even better is if it's a crinkle. A crinkle is an intensely rich and soft chocolate cookie that can be considered a cross between a cookie and a fudgy brownie because of its texture. 

But what makes this particular crinkle extra appealing is the gooey caramelized sweetened milk that's inside each one.  

This is one of six new dessert recipes under the September digital cover recipes so we can satisfy all your sweet cravings here on Yummy.

What is a crinkle? 

A crinkle is a kind of cookie that is characterized by the cracks in the cookie that are made as it bakes. Since the cookie dough balls are rolled in powdered sugar, the cracks are emphasized and made extra noticeable, hence the "crinkles". 

Crinkles are commonly chocolate but that doesn't mean it can't be flavored in other ways! Ube crinkles and red velvet crinkles are just two ways to make this fudgy cookie festive and colorful for any occasion. 

How To Serve Dulce De Leche-Stuffed Chocolate Crinkles

As with most cookies, these are best served at room temperature, preferably with a beverage in hand, too. Coffee or even a tall glass of milk will make this chocolate cookie treat extra appealing.

The cookie dough is easy to put together but the key to the crinkle is adding just enough baking powder into the dough and then chilling the dough. The baking powder ensures the cookies get their signature cracks as it bakes. Meanwhile, chilling not only ensures that the dough will hold its shape long enough to develop those crinkles but also makes it easy to form into the balls, too. 

You'll want to bake these just until cracked and the insides are still soft to create the perfect brownie-cum-cookie that you're expecting. 

Tips To Make Easy Dulce De Leche-Stuffed Chocolate Crinkles

The most important tip for making crinkles, or any chilled cookie recipe for that matter, is to use plastic wrap or even disposable gloves to form the balls. The plastic separating your bare hands and the cookie dough will make it easy to form properly without suffering the dough sticking to your fingers and palms. 

How To Store Dulce De Leche-Stuffed Chocolate Crinkles

The best way to store any cookie is in an air-tight container so the cookies can last longer. Not only will the cookies stay and taste more fresh, but the cookies won't lose their texture or become stale.
