Easy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
An easy and delicious Christmas cookie recipe that uses easy ingredients and easy to follow steps!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Pinch salt
- ⅓ Cup unsalted butter
- 1 ½ Cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ Cup powdered sugar (For dipping)
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, one-third at a time, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the dough, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Scoop out 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and coat generously in powdered sugar.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking tray, spacing them out slightly. Gently press each ball down a bit if desired. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are cracked.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
