Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
    • In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa, sugar, brown sugar, and canola oil.  Beat eggs in one at a time and stir in the vanilla.
    • Slowly stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture.  Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  • Using a cookie scoop and your hands, roll 1 1/4-inch cookie dough balls.  Roll each ball in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared cookie sheet with about 2-2 1/2 inches between the cookie dough balls. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes before moving them to cookie-cooling racks.

Notes

  • Cover and refrigerate the dough between batches.
  • Don’t overload the baking sheets. The dough balls should be about 2-2 1/2 inches apart.
  • Roll the dough balls heavily in powdered sugar, which will help make amazing crinkles.
  • Don’t over-bake the cookies. This is a soft cookie, so 10-11 minutes will do the trick.
  • Handle the cookies with care. Allow them a few minutes to cool before moving to cookie-cooling wire racks.
  • Run a cookie practice run. Bake one or two cookies to establish the optimum baking time and ensure they do not spread too fast.
