🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 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

12 steps

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

2. In a separate large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the eggs to the wet mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until a thick dough forms.

5. 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.

6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

7. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of chilled dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the dough has been used.

8. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.

9. Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly and the surface is crackled.

11. 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.

12. Serve the Chocolate Crinkles, and enjoy their chewy, chocolatey goodness!
