Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth fudgy chocolate cookies that taste a lot like brownies with a bit of a chewy texture. The dough is rolled in a thick coating of powdered sugar and then baked, giving it that beautiful crinkled appearance. These are one of my husband’s favorites, and they make beautiful Christmas cookies.

How To Make chocolate crinkle cookies

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • 2
    In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • 3
    In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa, sugar, brown sugar, and canola oil. Beat eggs in one at a time and stir in the vanilla.
  • 4
    Slowly stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture. Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  • 5
    Using a cookie scoop and your hands, roll 1 1/4-inch cookie dough balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet with about 2-2 1/2 inches between the cookie dough balls. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes before moving them to cookie-cooling racks.
