Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies – best, homemade, classic Christmas holiday cookies recipe! Sweet, fudgy and loaded with cocoa and sugar.
Chocolate crinkle cookies often show up around the holidays. I particularly love the cracked look and the contrast of the powdery white against the dark cocoa. It leaves a lasting impression that makes them ideal for gifting them to neighbors for Christmas. Why not, since this recipe makes so many.
If you’ve never tried one, these cookies have almost a brownie-like texture. A bit chewy, they are still light despite the richness of the cocoa. If you feel like mixing it up, try substituting 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract with peppermint extract. It creates an entirely new type of cookie.
Now for the technical stuff. I’ve had people ask me how I get these cookies so white. My trick is to coat it with a ton of powdered sugar before baking. It almost looks like the sugar will fall off. This ensures the cookies don’t absorb the powdered sugar during bake time.

What happens if you leave the dough in the fridge longer than 4 hours?

I tried this and my batter is more powdery then I would have thought it would be! Anyone else have this happen?? More like sand, is that correct?

I used the exact measurements as described in the recipe but my dough is quiet moist which makes it very difficult to roll. I’ve put back the dough in the fridge I will try again tomorrow. However what might have caused my dough to not get stiff enough?

My dough was stcky too. I tried rolling them after 4 hrs in the fridge and over night. The dough was too stcky to roll so I just used 2 spoons and sprinkled the powdered sugar on top.
Next time I’ll add a little more flour and maybe use butter instead of oil.

I only had a half cup of cocoa powder so I used that and added 2 squares of unsweetened baking chocolate, I didn’t have salted butter so I added more salt and used shortening instead, I used brown sugar as I did not have granulated, I had to take the cookies with me to a picnic so didn’t really have a lot of time to let them sit in the fridge, and I lowered the oven temperature so as not to burn the cookies, and when they came out the oven, I dusted them heavily with the powdered sugar but it still all melted into the cookies. After letting the cookies cool for awhile they were more of a grainy fudge consistency and tasted awful! I can’t figure out what went wrong? I ended up having to buy Oreos for the picnic. I wasted all my time and ingredients and I am so very disappointed. Maybe I will actually follow the recipe exactly as written next time and see if that works any better.
