Second Day of Baking: Chocolate Crinkles

On the second day of Christmas my darling baked for me a dozen Chocolate Crinkles.

These Chocolate Crinkle cookies are my all time favorite Christmas Cookie! But beware, you can’t eat just one (you’ve been warned). If you only have a chance to make one type of cookies this Christmas season, make these…you can’t go wrong!

Ingredients

3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
additional 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup confectioners sugar

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer mix together your oil, cocoa powder and 2 cups of granulated sugar until everything is well blended. Add you eggs and vanilla and beat well.
Slowly add in the flour, baking powder and salt. Once everything is mixed up, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or over night.
Preheat oven to 350.
Using your small cookie scoop, roll balls of dough, roll dough into your additional reserved 1/2 cup granulated sugar, then roll it in the confectioners sugar. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet a couple inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until they are puffed, crinkled, and are set (firm to touch). Let cool and at a tray or freeze the rest!

Notes

Rolling the chocolate dough ball into the granulated sugar before the confectioners sugar keeps the cookies from absorbing all of the confectioners sugar leaving you with pretty white powdered crinkles!
