Chocolate Sour Cream Crackle Cookies

There is nothing that I love more than a good cookie. For real. I travel the entire world in search of amazing cookies. That is how serious I am about them. We are always coming up with great cookie recipes and we really wanted to share this one with you. We hope that you love these Chocolate Sour Cream Crackle Cookies.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsalted butter (I used Kerrygold)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a small saucepan. Keep the heat lot and stir continuously until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
Combine sour cream, oil, egg, and sugar in large mixing bowl; then beat on medium speed until creamy. Add the slightly cooled chocolate to sour cream mixture. Beat on low speed. Add flour, baking powder and a generous pinch of Pink Himalayan Sea salt. Again beat on low speed until the mixture is thoroughly combined.Let your dough stand for about 10-15 minutes. The mixture will rise slightly. Use an Oxo Good Grips Cookie Scoop to put generous scoops about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. I put aluminum foil down on each cookie sheet for easy clean up.
Bake for 7-9 minutes or just until tops of the cookies start to set. They will begin to crackle like shown in the pictures. Do not bake for too long because you want the inside to be chewy like a brownie.
Immediately place the cookies on a cooling rack.
There are several options if you want to add an extra finish to your cookies. Drizzle chocolate or caramel over cookies. I used the chocolate powder from Williams-Sonoma and sprinkled it over the cookies.

No matter what kind of chocolate cookie recipe you wanted, this amazing chocolate treat will not disappoint. We hope that you are inspired by this Chocolate Sour Cream Crackle Cookies recipe. Happy baking!
