Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups oats quick or old fashioned, uncooked
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare your baking sheets.
- Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in a saucepan on low or microwave, stirring until smooth. Optionally add vegetable oil for easier melting. If using a microwave, heat in a glass container, stirring every 30 seconds for up to 1½ minutes.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat together room-temperature butter and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy.
- Gradually whisk in the large eggs, melted chocolate chips, and 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture.
- Gently add the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the mixture.
- Delicately stir in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips, aiming for an even distribution throughout the dough.
- For the snowy effect, generously scoop the cookie dough balls and shape them into 1-inch balls, then roll them in powdered sugar.
- Place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Then, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, and ensure you don't go over the baking time to avoid overbaking the cookies.
- After baking, let them cool on the sheet for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- To store your chocolate crinkle cookies, keep them in an airtight container or sealed bag in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. The cookies are best fresh, but can last 3-5 days at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container or bag for up to 2-3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven when ready to enjoy.
