Classic Chewy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed or a wooden spoon, beat together the butter, oil, and both sugars until light and creamy. This will take about 3 minutes if using an electric mixer or 5 to 6 minutes if creaming by hand. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until combined. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed or by hand until the dough comes together.

Put the confectioners’ sugar in a shallow bowl for rolling.

Using a medium (1 1⁄2-tablespoon) cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls, drop them into the confectioners’ sugar, and roll to coat. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, until the cookies are cracked on top.

Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill the Dough for Perfect Crinkles 🧊Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours before rolling in powdered sugar to prevent spreading and create those signature deep cracks as the cookies bake.
- Double-Coat the Powdered Sugar 🍫Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar twice—once initially, then again after a quick chill—to achieve a thicker, more dramatic crackled exterior.
- Underbake for Maximum Chewiness ⏱️Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly (about 11-12 minutes), as they continue cooking on the hot baking sheet for the perfect fudgy texture.
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🫗Mix cocoa powder with a small amount of hot water before adding to the wet ingredients to intensify chocolate flavor and ensure smooth, lump-free incorporation.
- Use Room Temperature Eggs for Proper Emulsion 🥚Let eggs sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before mixing to help them emulsify properly with the oil and butter, creating a smoother, more cohesive dough.
