Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll each ball generously in the powdered sugar, ensuring the cookie is fully coated.
Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and cracks have formed on the surface. Do not overbake; the cookies should remain soft inside.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Chocolatey Mocha Crinkles with a warm cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
