How to Make Slim Crinkle Cookies

  1. Melt 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted margarine and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Beat in the melted chocolate until well combined. Gently fold in 2 large egg whites, one at a time, until just incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/4 cup water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in 1/2 cup powdered sugar to coat evenly.
  9. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have slightly cracked and crinkled.
