Chocolate crinkle cookies

This year we are introducing you to a few simple recipes for American Christmas cookies. The cookies match ours perfectly regional cuisine of the world. They are also easy to make. But they taste even better. That Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Betty crocker to be attributed is actually not correct. Many people don't know that Betty Crocker wasn't a real person. It was a trademark created by the American company General Mills in the 20s. The company used this to advertise a type of flour on radio shows. At that time, various actresses took on the role of Betty Crocker. The advertising figure became so well known that Fortune magazine even voted her the most popular woman after the first lady of the presidency, Eleanor Roosevelt.

 

 

Where did the recipe come from?

The Chocolate Crinkles recipe is from Helen Fredell of St. Paul, Minnesota. The cookies appear for the first time in Betty Crocker's “Cooky Carnival”. It says, “When we went to see Mrs. Fred Fredell's in St. Paul, Minnesota, these cookies were so delicious we got the recipe. Thanks to her, thousands now enjoy these spicy cookies.” Attributing the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies to Betty Crocker is therefore only partially true.

The original crinkles were made from molasses. The recipe also included sugar, fat, eggs, molasses, flour, baking powder, salt, cloves, cinnamon and ginger.

In our recipe we swap the fat for oil and the spices for cocoa. We use vanilla instead of molasses. Finally, we roll them in sugar.

Ingredients

  • 200 g sugar
  • 60 g cocoa powder
  • 60 ml of vegetable oil

Mix the sugar with the cocoa. To this you add the oil, eggs and vanilla extract. You stir this until no more lumps form.

Then sift in the flour. Add baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix this with the mixer to form a smooth dough.

Then put the dough for the chocolate crinkles in the fridge for several hours. Then it can be processed better afterwards.

Heat the oven to 180 ° lower / upper heat and prepare two baking trays. Cover them with baking paper.

Then divide the chilled dough into piles with a teaspoon. Form balls from this and then roll them in powdered sugar.

Then place the dough balls on the trays with enough space between them. The dough will definitely spread during baking. You bake the cookies for 10 – 12 minutes.

Let them cool down a bit and pack them in an airtight container.
