Description
Classic chocolate crinkle cookies with a rich cocoa base, rolled in confectioners’ sugar for a delightful crackled finish.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa powder, white sugar, and vegetable oil.
Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir this into the cocoa mixture.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into one-inch balls or use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough.
Coat each ball in confectioners’ sugar before placing them onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for one minute before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps in easier handling and enhances the texture of cookies.
Do not overbake to keep the cookies chewy inside.
