These intensely fudgy chocolate crinkles are a delightful indulgence, boasting a crackled, powdered sugar coating that gives way to a soft, chewy center. The dough benefits from an overnight chill, allowing the flavors to meld and develop for an even richer experience.

Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the chocolate until smooth. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Combine wet ingredients: Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the vegetable oil and granulated sugar until well combined. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. (3 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

05

Step
4 hrs

Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for the crinkled texture. (4 hours+)

06

Step
10 mins

Preheat and prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. (10 minutes)

07

Step
15 mins

Shape and coat: Roll the chilled dough into ½-inch balls. Generously roll each ball in confectioners' sugar, ensuring they are fully coated. (15 minutes)

08

Step
12 mins

Bake: Place the coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are cracked. (12 minutes)

09

Step
20 mins

Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (20 minutes)

For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate.
Don't skip the chilling step! It's essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin.
If the dough is too sticky to roll, dust your hands lightly with confectioners' sugar.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
