Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • ⅓ cup canola oil
  • 2 tsp light corn syrup
  • 2 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a heat-proof bowl, melt the chocolate chips.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar (2 1/2 cups), canola oil, and corn syrup.
  4. On low speed, mix in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla, then the melted chocolate.
  5. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients.
  6. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least a few hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  8. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Pour the remaining granulated sugar (1/4 cup) into a small bowl, and the powdered sugar into a second bowl.
  10. Scoop the dough into balls, rolling each one lightly in the granulated sugar and heavily in the powdered sugar. Place on the baking sheets.
  11. Bake for about 12–14 minutes. The cookies should be slightly crispy on the outside, but slightly soft inside.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes, then place on cooling racks.
