Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Chocolate crinkle cookies are soft, fudgy treats with a brownie-like texture and a powdered sugar coating that creates a beautiful crackled effect as they bake. Perfect for cookie exchanges, holiday trays, or as thoughtful gifts, these cookies are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup vegetable oil canola, or olive oil work well
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and oil until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour and salt. Mix until just combined—do not overmix! The dough will be sticky.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Coat each ball generously in powdered sugar.
- Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look cracked but feel soft in the center. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
