Chocolate Ginger Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, sift together cocoa powder, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer, add vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Quickly mix on low to combine.
- Keeping speed on low, add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and add it to the wet ingredients, mixing for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Continue adding the rest of the dry ingredients until cookie batter is thoroughly mixed. The batter will be dark and sticky.
- Cover and chill cookie dough for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- Scoop 2-3 heaping tablespoons of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Drop ball in powdered sugar and toss to coat completely. Place sugar-coated cookie ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step until all the cookie dough batter is used, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until tops of cookies have a crackled appearance.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Notes
Cookies will look overbaked when you take them out of the oven, they will continue to cook and solidify as they cool.
