Gooey Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Description
The Gooey Chocolate Crinkle Cookies recipe starts with combining unsweetened cocoa powder, white sugar, and vegetable oil to create a moist chocolate base. Eggs and vanilla add richness and flavor, while baking powder and salt provide leavening and balance. The dough rests refrigerated for at least three hours, helping the cookies hold shape and develop a tender crumb. Rolled in powdered sugar before baking, these cookies form a characteristic cracked surface that contrasts the chewy interior. Baking at 350°F for 10 minutes yields a soft yet structured cookie with an intense chocolate flavor and a slightly crisp sugared crust. These cookies are ideal for those who enjoy a chewy, chocolatey treat with a visually appealing powdered exterior.
Serving these cookies is simple—allowing them to cool slightly before transferring to a rack preserves their gooey texture. They pair well with milk or coffee. This recipe’s chilling step is key to easier handling and better texture, so it’s worth planning ahead. Extra cookies freeze well, which helps to enjoy them over time without rushing consumption.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 egg at room temp
- 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine the cocoa powder, white sugar and vegetable oil. Mix for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until evenly combined. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and incorporate all the ingredients. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure out small ball of dough, I used about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie. Roll the dough into balls with lightly oiled hands. Coat each ball in powdered sugar before placing onto prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Store extra cookies in the freezer to keep them fresh and to help control portioning.
