Oh I know you've all seen this one, it's an oldie but goodie. I had never made
them before and had no idea how delicious they were, not to mention easy!
They have a very fudge-y flavor with a light texture. I'm wishing we hadn't eaten them all up!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one inch balls. I like to use a number 50 size scoop. Coat each ball in confectioners' sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas celebrating with family and friends!
With all my holiday baking, I've never actually made a crinkle cookie before. With your description, I definitely want to try it soon though! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCrinkle cookies are always a good choice! I like to put a little bit of mint extract in them sometimes, too.
