These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are one of my all time favorites! They are fun and festive for the holidays but not so festive that you can’t enjoy them year round. This Chocolate Crinkle Cookie recipe is special because they’re not like the other crinkle cookie recipes. They actually start with a base of melted chocolate and oil. Why, you ask? Because it creates the absolute richest, fudgiest cookie you could ever ask for. Is your mouth watering yet? If you love chocolatey cookies, then try out my 4 Ingredient Double Chocolate Cookies, Mom’s Double Chocolate Cookies, or Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies!
Ingredients Needed:
Chocolate: use your favorite chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Oil: mixed with the melted chocolate for a silky smooth texture and super fudgy cookies. Brown Sugar: using brown sugar takes care of the sweetness and makes the cookies super soft and chewy. Eggs: help the cookies hold their shape. Vanilla Extract: adds flavor depth. All-Purpose Flour: gives the cookies structure. Make sure you spoon and level or weigh the flour! Powdered Sugar: we’re putting powdered sugar in the cookie dough and using it to roll the dough in before baking. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: for extra chocolatey flavor. Baking Powder: helps the cookies rise a bit in the oven. Salt: cuts the sweetness.

Tips and Notes
Line the baking sheets. Lining with parchment paper or a baking mat not only makes for easy cleanup, but also prevents the cookies from spreading way too much. Chill the dough. Before chilling, the dough will be very sticky and difficult to handle. Make sure you chill it for about 1 hour in the fridge or 10-15 minutes in the freezer. This also helps prevent spreading. Place the cookies 2 inches apart. These cookies will naturally spread just a little bit no matter what. Make sure you leave space so they don’t run into each other. Roll the dough in sugar. The powdered sugar coating adds extra sweetness, but it also adds contrast so you can really see the crinkling effect. If you prefer flatter cookies, scoop the dough, then flatten the dough balls slightly before coating them in sugar.
