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 absolutely love crinkle cookies. They are a must-make each season! Love the. new video!
This is a strange question, but is that a baking stone in your oven? I have seen it in a couple of your videos and wondered if you used it to prevent spills or if it helps when you bake?
it's my pizza stone!! I just leave it in there at all times for ease. Doesn't affect baking
THAT CRINKLE THOUGH!
OMG these look so good- I have to figure out how to make these GF for the girls!
Chocolate crinkles are SO GOOD!
I'm going to try these for my daughter's fund raiser, as her high school band is having a Cookie Sale. If they last that long. Probably need to fix an extra batch or two because they sound like they're delicious! Wish me luck...
you'll be great!LMK how it goes
Hi Gaby 🙂
I've made these cookies several times now and they alwas turned out amazing!
Right now I am trying the recipe adding some christmasspices such as cinamon, nutmeg and cloves. I might try to mix the powdersugar with some cinamon, what do you think about that?
Greetings from Switzerland
sounds yummy! Let me know how it turns out
Can you put the mixture in freezer to get firm enough to work with
sure - for an hour! that would do it
Do you think I could substitute halaya for the cocoa powder to make ube crinkles ? Thanks !
I'm unfamiliar with halaya so I can't say for sure!! I'm sorry
Can we sub applesauce for vegetable oil or would that mess with the flavor too much?
haven't tested it that way - so I can't say with any certainty
If its bite size. Whats the best cooking time? Size of a gum ball?
6-8 mins
Can you use olive oil instead of vegetable oil?
I don't think that would taste as good, but yes you could use
I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies spread out while baking. They taste okay, but they don't look good. I've made these for years and I haven't had this problem. What's up??
it might be the baking powder! when's the last time you bought new baking powder?
Can I grease the baking sheet instead of putting parchment paper cause I don't have parchment paper at the moment.
totally!
Just pointing out that the prep time does not include the 3 hours of chill time, it is a bit misleading when initially reading the recipe and the total time states 15 minutes.
sorry about that!
Do I have to beat the eggs one at a time or do I put them in all at the same time?
same time!
