Instructions
How to Make Amish Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour and cocoa powder until fully combined, ensuring there are no lumps and a smooth mixture is achieved.
- In another bowl, whisk together the room temperature eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until slightly pale, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and coat them first with granulated sugar and then powdered sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-13 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve these cookies with a glass of cold milk for an extra delightful treat. Watch the bake time to prevent overbaking.
