Soft, fudgy chocolate cookies with a crackled powdered sugar coating—perfect for holidays or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls with your hands.
  8. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  9. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have cracked and the edges are just set.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for at least 4 hours to ensure the cookies maintain their shape and develop the crinkle effect.’, ‘Generously coat the dough balls with powdered sugar for a dramatic crinkle pattern.’, ‘Don’t overbake the cookies to keep them soft and fudgy inside.’, ‘Using room temperature eggs helps the dough come together smoothly.’]
