How to Make Irresistible Decadent Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
  1. Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Merge Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined.
  5. Chill Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 1 hour.
  6. Shape and Bake: Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in size, generously coat each ball in powdered sugar, and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Notes

Optional: Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a delightful flavor contrast.
