Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth fudgy chocolate cookies that taste a lot like brownies with a bit of a chewy texture. The dough is rolled in a thick coating of powdered sugar and then baked, giving it that beautiful crinkled appearance. These are one of my husband’s favorites, and they make beautiful Christmas cookies.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar

How To Make chocolate crinkle cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Step 3
    In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa, sugar, brown sugar, and canola oil. Beat eggs in one at a time and stir in the vanilla.
  • Step 4
    Slowly stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture. Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Using a cookie scoop and your hands, roll 1 1/4-inch cookie dough balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet with about 2-2 1/2 inches between the cookie dough balls. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes before moving them to cookie-cooling racks.
