Here’s a classic Chocolate Crinkle Cookies recipe 🍫❄️
Soft, fudgy, and coated in powdered sugar—perfect for chocolate lovers!
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Makes: ~24 cookies
Time: ~30–35 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients:
Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. - Mix wet ingredients:
In another bowl, beat sugar, oil (or butter), eggs, and vanilla until smooth. - Combine:
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until a thick dough forms. - Chill (optional but recommended):
Chill dough for 30 minutes for easier handling. - Form cookies:
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until coated. - Bake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies 10–12 minutes. They’ll crack naturally while baking. - Cool:
Let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes—they firm up as they cool.
Tips & Variations
- For extra fudgy cookies, slightly underbake them.
- Add chocolate chips to the dough for more chocolate goodness.
- You can sprinkle extra powdered sugar right after baking for a snowier look.
