Ingredients

  • •2 cups all-purpose flour
  • •3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • •2 teaspoons baking powder
  • •1/2 teaspoon salt
  • •1 cup granulated sugar
  • •1/2 cup butter, softened
  • •2 large eggs
  • •2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • •1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. 3Beat butter and granulated sugar together until creamy, then add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  4. 4Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until combined.
  5. 5Roll dough into 1-inch balls, coat with powdered sugar, and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  6. 6Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set but centers are still soft.
  7. 7Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Crinkle cookies need a generous powdered-sugar coating before baking; a thin dusting dissolves into the dough and loses the dramatic cracked contrast.
