Chocolate Crinkle Cookies



What you need,

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¾ cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup icing sugar

Into a large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment beat the sugar and vegetable oil together until combined. Add the eggs one at a time until the mixture gets light in color and fluffy.
With the mixture on low, add the dry ingredients a little at a time until totally incorporated.  Add the chocolate chips and mix just until combined.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and stash in the fridge for at least 2 hours up to 24 hours.

When you are ready to bake the cookies, heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line your baking sheet with parchment or a silpat mat.

Scoop the dough by the heaping tablespoon and roll into a ball. Roll each ball in the icing sugar to coat well.

Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes until the cookies edges are crisp and the center is just set.

Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Eat as many as you can right away… then put the rest into an airtight container for eat over the next couple days, or stash them in the freezer for a delicious snack later!
