Here's a recipe for chocolate crinkle cookies adjusted for high altitude at 9000 feet:
Ingredients:
1 cup 11.7% FLOUR
1/2 cup unsweetened COCOA powder
1/2 teaspoon baking POWDER
1/4 teaspoon baking SODA
1 teaspoon SALT
1/2 cup unsalted BUTTER, at room temperature
1 cup granulated SUGAR
2 large EGGS
1 Tablespoon VANILLA extract
1/2 cup POWDERED SUGAR, for rolling
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until it becomes firm and easy to handle.
Once the dough is chilled, shape it into 1-inch balls using your hands or a cookie scoop.
Roll each ball in powdered sugar until completely coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between the cookies for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake, and adjust the time as needed until they are done to your liking. Altitude adjustments can vary, so it's always a good idea to test a single cookie first to determine the best baking time and temperature for your specific altitude.
Also, if the dough is too stiff, add a bit of milk... if your dough spreads too much, add a bit of flour...

Ensuring your oven's temperature is accurate is essential for successful baking and cooking.
An oven thermometer is key to achieving this accuracy.
For baked goods and meats, checking internal temperature with a food thermometer is crucial.
Investing in a reliable thermometer is a wise choice for precision in cooking and baking.
Without accurate temperature measurements, the quality of your cakes or dishes could suffer.
