The Best Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies That Will Make The Holidays Better!

If you never had Crinkle Cookies, you really need to ask yourself WHY? These cookies are like bite-sized brownies lightly covered in icing sugar, so they are chocolatey and sweet!

You can make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies or Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies. Both of them are delicious but the chocolate ones always remind me of the Holiday season.

I don’t make these cookies often cause I tend to be the one that sits there and eats them all in one sitting.

Let me know what your favourite Holiday treat is!

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1 cup cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 cup icing sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside

In a large bowl, mix sugar and vegetable oil together until well blended.

Add the eggs one at a time beating each addition for 20 seconds. Add the vanilla extract and mix.

Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture and mix well. It will become very sticky at this point. Scrap the sides of the bowl from time to time to make sure all are well incorporated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge and let it chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a smaller bowl, combine and mix the icing sugar and cornstarch together. Scoop a spoonful of the sticky dough and roll it into a ball using your hands.

Drop the ball into the sugar mixture. Balls should be about an inch to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Cover each ball completely with icing sugar. Place the balls on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart as they will expand as they bake.

Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, remove them from the oven and let the cookies stand for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack
