Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipe

Name: Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 252 min
Total time: 270 min
Yield: 30 servings
Ingredients: 1.5 teaspoons baking powder; 0.5 cup cocoa powder; 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar; 3 eggs; 1.75 cups flour; 1.5 cups sugar; 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract; 0.5 cup vegetable oil

These classic chocolate crinkle cookies are a simple, straightforward bake that deliver a soft, fudgy center with a crisp, sugary exterior. The key to their signature look is a generous roll in confectioners' sugar before baking, which cracks beautifully as they expand in the oven. They come together quickly, though the dough does need a good long chill to make it easy to handle. This recipe makes a good batch of about 30 cookies, so it's a nice one for sharing.
