Crinkly, Chewy, Chocolatey Perfection: Crinkle Cookies

Indulge your sweet tooth with these irresistible chocolate crinkle cookies. With their crackly exterior and fudgy center, these cookies are a delightful treat for any occasion.

Nutritional Information (Approximate per cookie):

  • Calories: 120
  • Fat: 6g
  • Saturated Fat: 2g
  • Carbohydrates: 17g

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 10-12 minutes Chilling Time: 4 hours (or overnight) Total Time: Approximately 5-6 hours

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (100g)
  • (optional) 2 tablespoon instant coffee
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar (350g)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and oil until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and the coffee.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.  

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.

Scoop dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.  

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips

  • Chilling is Key: Chilling the dough helps to create the signature crinkly texture.
  • Don’t Overbake: It’s better to under bake slightly than to overbake. The cookies will continue to bake as they cool.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of peppermint extract or orange extract to the batter for a festive twist.

Enjoy these decadent treats with a cup of coffee or tea!
