Is anyone else as obsessed with Chocolate Crinkle Cookies?
I can't be stopped. These ooey, gooey chocolate Crinkle Cookies are my favorite chocolate cookie EVER. Okay, well put them on the same level as my chocolate chip cookies and molasses cookies and it's like the trifecta of cookies. I could subsist on that forever and ever. And seeing as how calories don't count until January 1, and we have a solid 3-ish weeks until Santa comes... I say let's do it!
The recipe couldn't be easier, you can make them right this second and then snack on them for the next few days. I promise you won't be disappointed! The inside is gooey and soft, the outside is just slightly crispy and coated with a layer of powered sugar that will leave you dusted with happiness.
Gooey Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs at room temp
- 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine the cocoa powder, white sugar and vegetable oil. Mix for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until evenly combined. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and incorporate all the ingredients. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure out small ball of dough, I used about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie. Roll the dough into balls with lightly oiled hands. Coat each ball in powdered sugar before placing onto prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Hi! How do you do these if you don’t have a stand mixer? Would you do it with a food processor or an electric hand mixer? Thanks!
electric hand mixer!
Love your enthusiasm! I am much older now, but occasionally I like to browse recipes. My spouse and I retired in 20009 from 30+ years in the restaurant business, but today I made your recipe for White Chocolate/Cranberry Biscotti. They are wonderful! Do you have an exceptional recipe for Chocolate Biscotti? Would love to try them.
Have a wonderful holiday,
Betty
this is my favorite biscotti recipe of all times: https://whatsgabycooking.com/white-chocolate-and-cranberry-biscotti-2/
I teach middle school FCS cooking and my students LOVED them. I 1/2'd the recipe for our cookie unit and it was a massive hit. Super easy, dough stayed well in the fridge for a day, and baked to perfection. Every group was successful. THANK YOU!!!!!
Do you think these will work with gluten free all purpose flour?
Yes! I had students use GF flour and it worked very well. Just use the 1-1 stuff and it turned out perfect.
I'm hoping to get a head start on holiday baking. Would you recommend baking them and then freezing until needed or freezing the dough and then bake later?
either one works for these - they are incredible
Hey! Can we make these 2 days in advance ? Or they won’t be good? How to store them?
you sure can! store in an air tight container in the fridge or freezer
So good! And they freeze well
