Cinnamon Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are rich, chewy, and full of warm flavor from a blend of butter, brown sugar, melted chocolate, and cinnamon. Rolled in powdered sugar, they bake up with a crackly top and a soft, fudgy center that makes them irresistible!
In a microwave, melt the butter and chocolate chips; stir until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar and corn syrup with an electric mixer until well blended. Beat in the egg and chocolate butter mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt; then gradually beat the dry mixture into wet ingredients. Then cover the bowl and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a shallow bowl, mix the powdered sugar and remaining ½ tsp cinnamon. Scoop dough using a medium sized cookie scoop, roll into a ball, then roll in the powdered sugar mixture. Place cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake until cookies are set and tops are cracked, 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling. Serve & enjoy!
