Melting the chocolate for the chocolate hazelnut crinkle cookies recipe

A holiday just isn’t a holiday without crinkle cookies. I know it, you know it, we all know it. They are seriously one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes, not just for the holidays. To be honest, some days, they are my favorite. I love a good tradition – you know this about me!

Mixing the wet and dry ingredients for the chocolate hazelnut crinkle cookies recipe

The crinkle in this recipe’s name comes from the obvious and distinctive crackle-top these cookies have. The “crinkle” look, like in my Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies or my Peanut Butter Chocolate Soft & Chewy Crinkle Cookies, is achieved through the transformation of sugar-coated dough balls into distinctively textured cookies. I know you love my food lessons!

Time to run to the kitchen. A little texture, flavor and everything in between all in one delicious Christmas cookie. My ultimate goal when baking these cookies was to keep them as chewy as I could without allowing them to get too cake-like and I think that goal was definitely achieved.

These snowy cookies are great for the winter holidays! Merry Christmas, my friends!
