Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are rich, fudgy treats featuring a deep chocolate flavor from cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and a mix of sugars. The dough is chilled before baking, ensuring a tender interior with a crackled, powdered sugar-coated surface. These cookies balance softness inside with a slightly crisp shell, making them an appealing bake for chocolate lovers looking for a chewy texture and visually distinctive appearance.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar white
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup chocolate melted, chopped
- 2 egg room temperature, large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Mix the cocoa powder, white sugar, brown sugar, melted chocolate, and vegetable oil in a large bowl.
- Next, add eggs one at a time and beat until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet chocolate mixture and beat just until a dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the confectioner's sugar to a smaller bowl.
- Roll about 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball.
- Roll each dough ball in confectioners' sugar to coat evenly and place onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes (for smaller cookies) or 12 minutes (for larger cookies).
- When they come out of the oven, the cookies will be a bit soft but will harden up once they cool completely.
- Cool on wire racks for 10-15 minutes and serve.
