Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  3. Add in eggs and vanilla extract; beat until mixture is fluffy.
  4. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until well combined.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  8. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat completely.
  9. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  11. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a lighter touch, consider using less sugar or half whole wheat flour. Chilling the dough is essential for the perfect crinkle texture.
