Description

Chocolate crinkle cookies are a delicious treat for any occasion. They have a rich cocoa flavor and are soft and chewy on the inside, with a crunchy, crackly exterior. These cookies are perfect for the holidays, or any time you’re craving a chocolate treat. This recipe uses cocoa powder to give the cookies a deep chocolate flavor, and the crinkles are created by rolling the dough in powdered sugar. This recipe makes about 24-30 cookies, depending on the size of the cookie scoop used.

Ingredients

1 cup (220 g) granulated sugar

2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup (50 g) cocoa powder

1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder

1/4 teaspoon (1.25 g) salt

2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar for rolling the dough

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and flour.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.

5. Scoop the dough out into 1-2 tablespoon sized balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheets.

6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies just start to crack. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can use any type of cocoa powder for this recipe, but I prefer Dutch-processed cocoa powder for the best flavor.

You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
