If you love chocolate, these chocolate crinkle cookies are the right treat for you during the holiday season and all year round. Soft and chewy with bits of melting chocolate and a beautiful crinkle look, these chocolate crinkle cookies are simply addictive. Everybody loves them and I highly recommend making two batches as they will be gone really fast.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl mix butter with sugar until light, creamy and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Gradually incorporate flour mixture. Fold in semisweet chocolate chips/chunks. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Place powdered sugar into a bowl.
Using your ice cream scoop take equal portions of dough, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) balls and roll into the powdered sugar, coating thickly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, keeping 2 inches (5cm) space between cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are cracked. Cool on baking sheets for 5minutes. Remove to the cooling rack to cool completely.
