Description
Discover the ultimate chocolate crinkle cookies recipe that delivers rich, fudgy bites wrapped in a crackled powdered sugar crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup sunflower oil
- 4 medium eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp finely ground instant coffee powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Icing sugar for coating
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a mixer bowl, combine cocoa powder, sunflower oil, and sugar.
- Using the flat beater attachment (K-beater), mix until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the batter is smooth.
- Mix in the vanilla sugar or extract for extra flavor.
- Gradually add the sifted flour mixture in small portions while mixing. Avoid overmixing to maintain the dough’s texture. Scrape the sides to ensure the mixture is uniform.
- Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for easier handling.
- After chilling, take the dough out and shape it into walnut-sized balls using lightly floured hands.
- Roll each ball generously in sifted powdered sugar to coat.
- Place the coated balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes (adjust for your oven type; fan ovens may require less time).
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container.
