Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Description
This chocolate crinkle cookies recipe makes rich, decadent, fudgy cookies rolled in confectioners’ sugar that bake up with their signature crackly top.
Ingredients
•
2 cups white sugar
•
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
•
1/2 cup vegetable oil
•
4 large eggs
•
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
1
Mix sugar, cocoa, and oil together in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
2
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in another medium bowl; gradually stir into cocoa mixture until just combined; dough will be sticky. Cover and refrigerate until firm, 4 hours to overnight. This helps to deepen the chocolate flavor and create more defined crinkles when baked.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll or scoop dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in confectioners' sugar; place 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until edges set and tops crackle, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes to firm up; transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
