Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Description
This recipe creates Chocolate Crinkle Cookies starting with a mixture of sifted cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil whisked together before incorporating eggs and vanilla extract. The dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Once combined, the dough is chilled for at least two hours to firm up, which helps in rolling.
The dough is then shaped into tablespoon-sized balls and rolled thoroughly in powdered sugar before baking. The sugar coating dissolves and cracks as the cookies expand, resulting in their signature crinkled appearance. Baking time is controlled to ensure the edges set while the middle remains soft and chewy.
These cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to four days. For convenience, dough balls can be refrigerated up to three days before baking, with the sugar coating applied just before placing them in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder sifted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place the cocoa powder, granulated sugar and vegetable oil in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well in between each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the bowl. Stir until just combined.
- Cover the bowl of dough, then chill for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls, then roll each ball in powdered sugar. Place the balls of dough 2 inches apart on the sheet pans.
- Bake each pan of cookies for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely. Serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Coat cookie dough balls thoroughly in powdered sugar for the classic crinkle look.
- Dough balls can be refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking.
- Roll cookies in powdered sugar immediately before baking for best results.
