Deliciously soft and chewy chocolate crinkle cookies with a crinkled top, coated in powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In two separate shallow bowls, place the granulated sugar and powdered sugar for rolling the cookies.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and oil using a wooden spoon until well mixed.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Sprinkle in the salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until a stiff dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before proceeding.
  6. Using a cookie dough scoop, roll the dough into 1.5-inch balls.
  7. Roll each ball first in the granulated sugar for a thin coating, then in the powdered sugar for a thicker coat.
  8. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is about 2 inches of space between each ball.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the tops have crinkled and the edges are set.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
