Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.33 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar, making sure they are evenly coated.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the crinkle pattern has formed.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Slim Crinkle Cookies!
