Chocolate Crinkle Cookies!

[bryannaing]

*INGREDIENTS*
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (100g)
1¾ cups granulated sugar (350g)
½ cup vegetable oil (120mL)
4 large eggs room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar (120g)

*INSTRUCTIONS*
In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and oil. Beat on medium speed until well combined and shiny.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined. Beat in the vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring to combine. Add the flour mixture to the cocoa mixture and mix on low speed just until combined.

Cover the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Once the dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.

Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop the chilled dough and roll into roughly one-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar until well coated and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. (Only coat as many dough balls as you can fit on the baking sheets at one time. Refrigerate the remaining dough balls and roll in powdered sugar just before baking.)

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are firm and the center is puffed but still appears slightly wet. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

*NOTES*
Don’t rush the chilling time. This dough is quite sticky when it’s first made, so it needs time to firm up before you can roll and coat the balls. Also, a warm dough will result in flat cookies, so don’t let it sit out too long either. If desired, you can shape all of the dough into balls and chill them uncoated, then roll them in sugar just before baking.

Sugar-coat just before baking. Only coat as many dough balls as you can fit on the baking sheets at one time. Otherwise, the cookie dough will absorb the powdered sugar coating as they sit before going in the oven, and can actually create a hard shell keeping the cookies from spreading or crinkling in the oven. Refrigerate the remaining cookie dough balls and roll in powdered sugar just before baking.

Remove the cookies from the oven when the centers still look wet. Though they may not appear as though they are fully baked at this point, the chocolate crinkles will firm up as they cool, leaving a delightfully soft interior for the perfect fudgy chocolate cookies. Baking them much beyond this point will dry out the crinkles.

Save time by making the dough ahead of time. If desired, the chocolate cookie dough can be kept covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making this recipe a fantastic one to make ahead of time during the busy holiday season.

Makes 48 cookies, or if you're really bad at portioning like me, about 24.

These are so common in the Philippines, and I can guarantee how delicious they are! so soft and sweet 😭 also, the sweet bitterness at times.

Just made some a couple nights ago and they turned out GREAT

We sell these at the cafe that I work at and they've always been my favorite treat. At my first cafe job, we also had these, and I'd grab one whenever I felt like fainting because of the running. They worked their magic and boosted my energy

I tried your recipe for the holidays this year and they were such a hit! My 81 year old dad loved them so much he bought me a fancy stand mixer to make sure I will make them all year long. Thank you so much!

I love these cookies. I bought his cook books to give for Christmas but decided to keep one.

[deidregoodman]

Look very delicious 🤤 😋 I love different kinds of cookies 🍪 🍪🍪

[CallMehLime-TheFirst]

In Germany they are a bit more round and they are called 'Schokoleibchen'.
'Schoko'= Chocolate
'leibchen'= Because of the Bread-loaf-like form
BTW:We actually dont let it set overnight.But it looks good.

My family has made these for YEARS, easily my favorite cookie. We call them snowtop cookies, and they've been the most turned to page in my Gran's recipe book for as long as i can remember.

[admirkollcinaku]
