Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

These cookies are incredibly popular for their visual appeal and delectable taste. The addition of cocoa powder gives them a deep chocolate flavor, while the powdered sugar coating adds a lovely sweetness. They’re perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a festive gathering or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.
Once chilled, take small portions of dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Coat each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring they are generously covered. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. They should look slightly cracked on top but still soft to the touch.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade Chocolate Crinkle Cookies!

These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are sure to be a hit. With their rich chocolate flavor and soft, chewy texture, you might want to make a double batch to share (or keep for yourself!). Happy baking!
