Thick Orange Crinkle Cookies

1.0

Yield: ~10–12 large cookies

Texture: Thick, soft centers, slightly crisp edges, bold crinkles

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, cool room temp (not greasy soft)

1 cup granulated sugar

¼ cup brown sugar (adds moisture + chew)

2 large eggs, cold

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 2 oranges

2 tablespoons orange juice (slightly reduced from before)

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

Granulated sugar + powdered sugar for rolling

Key Technique Changes (this is what makes them THICK)

More flour → structure

Less liquid → prevents spread

Cold dough → holds shape

Tall shaping → vertical rise instead of outward spread

Instructions

Cream butter + sugars
Add eggs + flavor
Add dry ingredients
Chill (non-negotiable)

Chill at least 3–4 hours (overnight = best)

Scoop & SHAPE (most important step)
Using your ⅓ cup scoop:

Form into a tall mound / rough cylinder, not a ball

Do NOT smooth it out—craggy = better crinkles

Double roll

Roll in granulated sugar

Then heavily in powdered sugar

Bake

375°F (slightly higher for lift)

Bake 13–16 minutes

Pull when:

Tops are cracked

Edges set

Centers still soft

Pro Tips for Maximum Thickness

If dough warms up → re-chill before baking

Bake one tray at a time

If needed, stack dough even taller right before baking

You can even freeze shaped dough 20 min before baking for extra height

Optional (your sweet preference)

Add 2 tbsp honey → softer, sweeter center

Finish with a tiny pinch of sugar on top right out of the oven
