💗The following are the key ingredients needed to prepare Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

- Vegetable oil
- Eggs, large
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
💗How To Make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Cocoa mixture: In a stand-up mixer, mix together cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, ( Eggs added one at a time leads to cookies that are thick and chewy ) then stir in the vanilla.
Stir the flour mixture into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 1 hour. (don't skip chilling)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one-inch balls. I like to use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop. Coat each ball in confectioners'(powdered) sugar before placing it onto prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool. Enjoy! 😃
💗Storing and Freezing Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
- You can freeze chocolate crinkle cookies, both baked and unbaked.
- For baked cookies, simply stash them in an airtight container or zip-top bag in layers with a piece of parchment paper in between each layer. Freeze them for up to three months.
- For unbaked cookies, you can place the dough balls (without the confectioners' sugar) on a sheet pan and freeze until solid. Once they're solid, transfer the dough balls to a zip-top bag or airtight container and freeze them for up to three months. When you're ready to bake them, simply let the dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then coat them in confectioners' sugar and bake — you may need to add an extra minute or two for the baking time.
