Chocolate crinkles

2 eggs

100 g of sugar
200 g of dark chocolate(55 % or more cocoa)
1 tea spoon of vanilla extract
200 g of soft flour

A bit of salt
Granulated sugar and caster sugar (about 100 g) for coating
Preparation:
Chop chocolate and melt it over steam or in a microwave, and leave it to cool a bit. Sift flour, a pinch of salt and raising agent.
Whisk butter left at room temperature with sugar and vanilla extract. Add melted chocolate and whisk it to get a uniform mixture. Add one by one egg, but don’t whisk it long, just enough to blend everything.
Add flour to the mixture and mix it well. Cover it and leave it in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Turn on the oven at 180 degrees.
Using a spoon, take out the mixture and form balls using your hands. They should weigh around 10 g.
Put granulated and caster sugar into two bowls. Roll each ball into granulated sugar first and then sprinkle it with caster sugar.
Arrange balls onto a baking tray in a way that they don’t touch each other. Cover the baking tray with baking paper. Bake them in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. They have to still be soft when you get them out.
Take them out of the baking tray, let them cool and enjoy them.
