How to Make The Ultimate Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and oil until smooth.
Gently incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture. Mix until just combined.
Add the salt, baking powder, and flour, stirring until a stiff dough forms. Chill if too sticky.
Roll the dough into 1 ½-inch balls, coating them first in granulated sugar and then in powdered sugar.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Optional: Sprinkle a dash of sea salt on top after baking for an elevated flavor experience.
