Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs to the wet mixture, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Arrange the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and the tops have cracked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Fudge Crinkles!
