These are the perfect hybrid of cookie and gooey brownie! If you are in the baking mood, and craving chocolate, these fudgy chocolate crinkle cookies might be just what you need. You will be in and out of your kitchen in less than half an hour with a delicious tray of cookies. If you bake these your whole house will smell like the perfect cup of hot chocolate. The cookies freeze quite well after baking so if you are home alone fear not! This recipe is also quite easy to cut down in half in case you insist on making a small batch (but why would you want to do that). Recipe is taken from Cafe Delites and they have been tried and tested by me on numerous occasions. Completely foolproof and they look pretty too!

Ingredients

Brownie Crinkle Cookies

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup icing sugar (for coating)

Directions

Brownie Crinkle Cookies

6 Steps

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, white sugar and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla.
Step 2

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until a dough forms (do not over beat). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 3

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper. Roll 1 tablespoon full of dough into balls for smaller cookies, or 2 tablespoons full for larger cookies.
Step 4

Add the icing sugar to a smaller bowl. Generously and evenly coat each ball of dough in sugar and place onto prepared cookie sheets.
Step 5

Bake in oven for 10 minutes (for small cookies) or 12 minutes (for larger cookies). The cookies will come out soft from the oven but will harden up as they cool.
Step 6

Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
