Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease your cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then set them aside while you prepare the dough.
  2. Mix Butter and Dry Ingredients: Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the softened butter for about 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Continue beating until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure an even mix.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg whites and vanilla low-fat yogurt until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually beat in as much of the all-purpose flour as possible with the mixer; then, switch to using a spoon or spatula to stir in the remaining flour, ensuring the dough forms without overmixing.
  5. Form and Coat Cookies: Pour the sifted powdered sugar into a shallow bowl. Using a teaspoon, drop sticky dough portions into the powdered sugar, rolling each into a ball fully coated with sugar.
  6. Arrange and Bake: Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft—the ideal baking time is around 8 minutes for a perfect fudgy texture.
  7. Cool: Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy these delightful crinkles with your coffee or as a sweet snack anytime.

Notes

  • For best results, use instant coffee granules to infuse the chocolate with coffee flavor without adding extra liquid.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be soft and fudgy in the center.
  • Rolling the sticky dough in powdered sugar makes handling easier and gives the cookies their signature crackled look.
  • Ensure egg whites are properly incorporated for light texture and moisture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
