Mini-batch Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Servings: 3 cookies
Calories: 147kcal
Equipment
- Cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp mashed banana or applesauce (15 g) this is your egg replacer, no you don't taste it but use (nut) milk if you're absolutely paranoid or allergic to bananas
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (14 g) I use avocado oil, apparently you can even sub (nut) milk - which we found out by accident :)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (24 g) sub granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar (12 g)
- 1/4 cup flour (30 g) gf all purpose if desired, or even oat flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder (9 g)
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- drop of vanilla
- pinch of salt
Coating
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (24 g)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (15 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
- In a small bowl using a fork/whisk, rigorously mix together mashed banana, brown sugar, white sugar, drop of vanilla and oil until creamy and fluffy (took me a few min). Add cocoa powder, stir until no clumps remain. (Optional: also add a pinch of espresso powder to amp up the flavor)
- In a mug/other bowl mix flour, baking soda, pinch of salt.
- Gradually add dry to wet, folding with a spatula or spoon, stopping as soon as you get a nice soft cookie dough. If the dough gets too crumbly add a drop of water.
- Make rounds of cookie dough between your palms. Yes in the photo I experimented with making just a single cookie nano-batch baking style :)
- For each ball, first dip and cover in granulated sugar, followed immediately by powdered sugar.
- Set on the parchment paper to bake (they will spread so give about at least an inch between the cookies).
- Bake 12-13 minutes until the cracks have formed, cool for 5 and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have a food scale, remember to use the spoon & level method in measuring flour to avoid over-measuring, which will lead to dry cookies.
- In one of our test runs we actually forgot to add the oil to the cookie and had to compensate with a bunch of almond milk! The non-fat cookie still tasted good so if you're looking for a non-fat cookie, this is the one!
