Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are easy to make, rich fudgy cookies, filled with chocolate chips & rolled in powdered sugar. Perfect for the chocolate lover in you.
¼cupcoconut oil(you can also use vegetable oil or any other mild-flavored oil)
2large eggs(or egg substitute, see options above in "variations")
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
1cupall purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
1cupdark chocolate chips(optional)
½cupconfectioner's sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat cocoa powder, sugar and coconut oil (melted) until it looks shiny and very black, about 2-3 minutes.
Turn mixer to low and add eggs. Continue to beat for 1 minute. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients until just blended.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with silicone mat or parchment paper.
Place powdered sugar on a flat plate.
Take out ¼ dough at a time so the remaining dough stays well chilled and easier to handle.
Roll dough into 1" balls, I like to do 12 at a time, then roll in powdered sugar to coat. Place on cookie sheet.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks until completely cooled.
Store in airtight container.
