Best Chocolate Crinkle Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, and oil. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the cocoa mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be sticky, so cover it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to firm up.
3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Roll or scoop the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Generously roll each ball in confectioners' sugar, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the sugared dough balls 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are set and the tops develop their characteristic crackles, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes to firm up slightly before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat the baking process with any remaining dough.
