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
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15 minutes to make it easier to work with.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the chilled dough and roll it into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until completely coated.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the crinkles have spread and cracked but are still slightly soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your quick chocolate crinkles, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
