When it comes to my darling children, I have no favorites. When it comes to holiday desserts, however, Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are hard to beat. Each bite of these chewy, fudgy cookies is heavenly. The outsides are sweet and slightly crisp, while the insides are rich and dense. A roll in powdered sugar before baking makes them appear as flattened snowballs. Translation: they’re holiday baking perfection!
These cookies are super easy to make too. Beat together unsweetened cocoa powder, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, or a large glass bowl if using a handheld mixer, then add eggs and vanilla and beat to combine.
Next add gluten-free measure for measure flour, or all-purpose flour if you don’t need to eat gluten free, plus baking powder and salt.
Getting closer!
Chill the dough for 4 hours then roll 1 Tablespoon worth of dough into a ball, and then roll in powdered sugar. Bake for 8-10 minutes, and voila!
I adore these cookies, and they’re always such a crowd pleaser when I take them to get togethers!
The insides of these cookies are dense like fudge, which I just can’t get enough of. So delicious, so festive — they’re a holiday season must have! Enjoy!
