Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Marija Gvozdenovic
INGREDIENTS
Serves 16
Prep.time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
130g all-purpose flour
50g unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
100g fine brown sugar
pinch of salt
60ml vegetable oil
2 large eggs
100g powder sugar for coating
METHOD
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix oil and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating on medium-low speed until combined. Then gradually add the flour mixture, and beat on medium-low speed until blended.
Form the dough into a large ball and place it on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap the plastic around it so that it is sealed tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (I usually leave them overnight) until the dough is chilled completely.
When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare your baking pan and cover it with baking paper. Scoop the powder sugar into a small bowl.
Remove and unwrap the dough. With a teaspoon, take a small portion of the mixture once at the time, roll into balls and dip each ball in the powdered sugar until it is completely covered on all sides, and then place the dough balls at least 5 cm apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes. The cookies might seem a bit soft but they will harden once they cool down. Transfer the cookies to a serving plate, and let them cool until they reach room temperature.
Serve immediately, or store in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
