Ingredients:
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 65g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 115g unsalted butter, melted
- 150g light brown sugar
- 100g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 24 pieces Reese’s miniature cups, frozen
- 0.5 cup Reese’s pieces
- 50g granulated sugar for coating
- 120g powdered sugar for coating
Instructions:
- Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until no lumps remain.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously for 1 minute until the mixture appears glossy to develop the crackly top.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to ensure the proper thermal shock for crinkling.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 1.5-tbsp cookie scoop, portion the dough and press a frozen Reese’s miniature cup into the center, sealing the dough around it.
- Roll the dough ball first in granulated sugar to create a moisture barrier, then roll generously in powdered sugar.
- Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies will be soft but will firm up and develop deep cracks as they cool.
