Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Fudgy, chocolaty, crinkle cookies topped with a crisp, sweet powdered sugar outer layer, are a must during the holiday season. These tender gems are baked thick like a brownie yet crispy like a sugar cookie.

Ingredients

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup oil
2 large eggs (bring to room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Dusting Powder

3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)

Instructions

Mix unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar and oil.
Blend in vanilla and add one egg at a time.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt, add to mixture. Do not over mix. Your dough should be very stiff.
Wrap dough and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Baking

Preheat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
When you are ready, take the dough out and roll into balls. I used a 1.5 tablespoon (small) cookie scoop and made 15 cookies.
Roll your balls in powdered sugar.
Place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
Bake until cookie starts to appear cracked, approximately 12-15 minutes depending on size.
Cool on wire rack.
