Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Crinkle cookies are those cookies that you see on most Christmas party tables or winter bake sales. They are synonymous with the cold and snow, but it doesn’t have to be wintertime to bake these delicious treats.

These chocolate crinkle cookies are a little different than your typical cookie recipe because you do have to refrigerate the dough overnight. That means that you can’t whip them up at the last minute, but believe me, the time you put in is worth the wait!

This is a vegetarian recipe that is actually quite easy to make, although the final result makes them look special and complicated. Let everyone believe that! Just as long as you know the secret.

Add these to your next holiday baking party list! Make the dough the day before and have it ready for when everyone comes over.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl, stir together your cocoa powder, sugar and vegetable oil.

Next, mix in yours eggs and vanilla extract. Once that is incorporated, mix in your flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cover your batter with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight. This will allow your batter to set.

The next day, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour your powdered sugar into a small bowl and put it to the side.

Using a tablespoon, scoop out a large dough ball and roll it in your hands until it is a smooth sphere.

Dip your dough ball into the powdered sugar and coat it completely. Once covered, put each dough ball onto the baking sheet.

Bake for 14 minutes and allow to cool before serving. Enjoy!
