Description
- Soft, chewy, and deeply chocolatey, these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are rolled in powdered sugar and baked to perfection for a crackled, snowy look that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Gather ingredients.
- Mix sugar, cocoa, and oil together in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Stir in vanilla.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually stir into cocoa mixture just until combined. Dough will be sticky. Cover and refrigerate until firm enough to handle, at least 4 hours to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll or scoop chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Coat each ball in confectioners’ sugar and place 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake until edges are set and tops are crackled, 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to achieve perfect crinkles.
- You can freeze the rolled dough balls for up to 3 months.
- Add a touch of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
