Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll the balls in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a minty twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the dough.
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
