Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup vegetable oil
½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Gradually mix in the vegetable oil.
5. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
6. Scoop dough into balls and roll each in powdered sugar to coat thoroughly.
7. Place dough balls on the baking sheet 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until tops are crackled and edges are set. Centers will remain soft.
9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use Dutch-process cocoa for a deeper, smoother chocolate flavor.
Do not skip the powdered sugar coating — it’s key to the crinkle effect.
Let cookies cool on the pan briefly to firm up before moving to a rack.
