Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Delicious chocolate crinkle cookies with a fudgy center and a powdered sugar crust.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and mix until smooth.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have cracked and set around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the cookies by reducing the baking time by 1-2 minutes.
