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.
I made the crinkle cookies today and they spread out while cooking and became crispy.
What did I do wrong?
However they taste yummy!
hmmmm that is quite odd! is the baking powder old? Let me know - happy to help troubleshoot 🙂
Oh my gosh...everyone loves these! And they are so easy to make! I have a question. How long can the batter last in the fridge? I made some on the 23rd.
Hey Allie! It should last about a week! You could easily freeze it too and pull it out when you're ready to bake some again.
Thanks!
This was my first time making these and they turned out picture perfect and delicious. To make this recipe even better for those of you on Weight Watcher's Points Plus Program the recipe builder calculates this little gems at only 1 point a piece. Wonderful!

Thank you!
Hurry please tell me! I'm refrigerating the dough right now. Is it supposed to be a brownie like consistency?
Yup! And it should harden as it chills!
Cookies dusted with powdered sugar just scream holiday to me. And eat me... but that's just me!
Yum! These look amazing... and with all those eggs and all that cocoa powder, I can only imagine how rich they will be. I am going to make a couple of batches this week, since we have a bunch of cub scouts gathering at our house before going out caroling!
These look fantastic Gaby! I could go for a big plate right now 🙂
I made these yesterday...& they were lush!!!
the look wonderful!
Obviously I'm missing out..I need crinkle cookies in my life NOW ; ) xoxo
Not sure I have ever had a crinkle cookie. Now I obviously need to!
I love choc crinkles...I mean who wouldn't. I am actually thinking about making some for my Christmas competition we are having at work. I feel like it's a good choice because it's really good chocolate...how can you beat that? This sounds like a fabulous recipe for them - I might try these today because I need to start my baking, too.
Could potentially be my new favorite cookie!! We will soon find out...
