Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs to the wet mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until a thick dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. This step is essential for making the dough easier to handle and ensures proper crinkling during baking.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of chilled dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the dough has been used.
Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly and the surface is crackled.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Chocolate Crinkles, and enjoy their chewy, chocolatey goodness!
