Total Time:2 hours 31 minutes
Yield:24 cookies 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup powdered sugar, for coating
Instructions
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and prevents clumps.
Gradually Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies.
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin during baking.
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape and Coat the Cookies: Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Generously roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring it’s completely coated. The thick coating of powdered sugar is what creates the signature crinkled effect.
Bake the Cookies: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from sticking and allows them to firm up.
Enjoy: Once cooled, these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are ready to be devoured!
