Recipe- Rich And Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies have a rich and fudgy center with a crisp powdered sugar outer layer. Crinkle Cookies are just as important as Sugar Cookies on your holiday cookie tray. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are like a cross between gooey Fudgy Brownies and crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are rolled in powdered sugar before baking so they form “crinkles” as they expand in the oven.

Ingredients

1/2 cup cocoa powder , (unsweetened)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil, (or canola, or light olive oil)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup confectioners sugar

Method

* In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, oil, vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

* In a separate bowl, combine flour together, baking powder and salt.

* Add the flour mixture to the cocoa mixture and stir to combine.

* Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.

* Preheat the oven to 350F. Roll out cookie dough into even-sized balls (it's easier to roll with wet hands) and generously roll each into powdered sugar.

* Place cookies on a baking sheet, being sure to leave space between each of the cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. Cookies will come out soft but will harden as they cool down.

* Allow cookies to slightly cool. Then, move them to a wire rack to fully cool down.
