If presented with a tray of cookies at Christmastime, chocolate crinkle cookies are one of the first that I will reach for. (The other is shortbread!) The dusting of powdered sugar which looks so much like snow always makes me think of winter and the holidays.

Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
-
Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Stir in the cocoa powder, add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until all the ingredients are combined.
-
In separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture and stir until a soft dough comes together. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour or overnight.
-
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Whisk the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar together in a bowl. Scoop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough and roll each scoop of the chilled dough into a ball. Then roll the balls in the powdered sugar mixture and place them on the cookie sheets, 2-inches apart from each other.
-
Transfer the cookie sheets to the oven and bake the cookies at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer them to cooling rack to cool completely.
-
Store the chocolate crinkle cookies in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
