Espresso Crinkles

Unsweetened chocolate and instant espresso powder give depth of flavor to these sophisticated cookies. A dredge in powdered sugar before baking ensures sweetness, and also gives them a unique cracked surface and snow-covered look. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, making it an excellent choice for a cookie swap party. Learn how to host one in our cookie swap guide.
