Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a thick dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This step is essential for easier handling.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6

Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion the chilled dough and roll each piece into a ball, approximately 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

Coat each dough ball generously in powdered sugar, ensuring no areas are left uncovered.

Step 8

Arrange the powdered-sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly, cracked, and appear set.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve your Snow Capped Cocoa Crinkles with a tall glass of milk or a warm cup of cocoa. Enjoy!
