Ingredients for the Crinkle Cookies
- For All-purpose flour, I used Arthur's unbleached flour.
- Cocoa powder Ghiradelli 100% cocoa Dutch processed that is unsweetened to get the rich color and chocolate flavor. You can also use natural-processed if you like.
- Avocado oil or any vegetable oil.
- Granulated sugar - I used the unrefined brown one, white granulated sugar can also be used.
- Eggs used are organic and at room temperature.
- Powdered confectioners sugar.
- Baking powder.
- Vanilla essence.

How to make Fudgy and Chewy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies?
We first start by whisking all the dry contents namely the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl take the cocoa powder, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla essence and beat them together. Initially, I used a spatula to mix them all but finished with a hand mixer so that all the sugar gets well combined. Next, add the flour and mix with a spatula so they all come together. The dough will be a bit sticky and thick. Cover the dough with parchment paper and seal it well with two or three layers so it is airtight. Refrigerate it in a closed container if possible.
It is preferable to refrigerate it overnight or at least three to four hours. I baked mine after four hours. Scoop the dough using an ice cream scoop, roll it in powdered sugar, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. You will see the crinkles forming and cracking up the sugar topping. Cool it on a cooking rack and enjoy.
Hope you enjoy making these cookies, some other cookies that you may like are Oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies, Hilton-style cookies, and Chocolate chip cookies with walnuts.
Useful Tips for perfect Crinkle cookies
- Refrigeration of the dough is important and a key step to making the perfect crinkle cookies.
- Roll in granulated sugar first followed by powdered sugar so the white powdered sugar sticks well.
- Double-coat the powdered sugar if necessary. Once the cookies are lined up to bake ensure your oven is already pre-heated and ready to take them in for baking else refrigerate the baking tray with the cookie ball doughs again until ready.
- Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for the rich chocolatey flavor.
- Espresso can be optionally used to bring out the chocolatey flavor although not a must.
