Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Combine Sugars and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well blended.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.

          Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick and somewhat sticky.

            Chill the Dough: For best results, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will help the cookies maintain their shape while baking.

              Shape the Cookies: Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.

                Prepare for Baking: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each, as they will spread while baking.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are set and cracked. The cookies should still look soft in the middle.

                    Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your chewy chocolate crinkle cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
