To make the Soft Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use convection bake if you have it.
• Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper or grease well with baking spray. Set aside.
• Add softened butter and cream cheese to a medium-sized mixing bowl and use a hand or a stand mixer to blend until smooth.
• Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
• Add the eggs and mix until combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt).
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2-3 portions, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
• Use a large cookie scoop to spoon the cookie dough into a bowl of powdered sugar. Completely coat the cookie, then place them on to the prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the powdered sugar has cracked and the edges look crispier (most cookies should bake for at LEAST 20 minutes – it's hard to tell when they're done!).
• Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature before eating. These are best enjoyed at room temperature.
