Best Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies have an irresistible brownie textured centre, with a crunch of cookie on the outside! One of our favourite Christmas cookies right here!

Rich and decadent, just like a brownie in the shape of a cookie. You’d be mistaken for thinking these Christmas cookies were super fattening or loaded with calories, but that’s the BEST part! ONLY 88 calories EACH!

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

In the land of wanting to eat whatever we want over Christmas but we can’t because hello fat pants, these cookies become a saviour. Also, this recipe is a half batch recipe, so there’s no need to feel intimidated by a full tray of 1000 cookies staring back at you, begging to be eaten, only for you to try to refuse.

There’s simply not enough. Especially if you have family to steal them all from you before they hit any sort of plate.

HOW TO BAKE Chocolate Crinkle Cookies?

  • Make sure you start with room temperature ingredients so the oil and egg mix together easier.
  • If you can, use Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder instead of Dutch process cocoa powder
  • Make sure you chill the cookie dough for at least 3 hours. The dough is super sticky and easier to manage once it has been chilled (the longer, the better). Chilling also ensures thicker cookies with a fudgy texture, and less spreading while baking.
  • Once they are rolled into balls and placed onto your baking sheet, there is no need to press them down. They will naturally bake into shape.
  • Make sure your oven is HOT before baking! Or they will still be raw after 10 minutes.
  • The baking time suggested in the recipe is a guide. Remember, this depends on how hot your oven runs. They will be super soft when they come out of the oven and harden as they cool. If you bake them for too long, the centres will not be fudgy.
  • Bake them big or bake them small, it makes no difference in texture. The end result is the same. For bigger cookies, just leave them in baking in the oven for 2 minutes longer.

After Hot Chocolate Fudge Pudding Cakes, SUPER Fudgy Brownies and Quick Soft Cinnamon Rolls to keep us on our toes, this cookie recipe comes to us as a last minute ‘help me’ type of recipe. This recipe is super simple to make and super decadent with no guilt afterwards. (Well, hardly any guilt.)

You know what I mean. I’ve been hanging to share these with you for so long now, but with Prime Rib Roasts, Scalloped Potatoes, Antipasto Cheese Ball Christmas Trees and Caprese Wreaths creating chaos all over the place, I’ve saved the best for last!

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 12 mins
Total: 22 mins
Serves: 20 small cookies or 12 large cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (2.2 oz/60 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (7 oz/205 g) white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (3.5oz/130g) all purpose or plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar or icing sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, white sugar and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until a dough forms (do not over beat). Cover bowl with wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F | 175°C. Line 2 cookie sheets or baking trays with parchment paper (baking paper). Roll 1 tablespoonful of dough into balls for smaller cookies, or 2 tablespoonfuls for larger cookies.
  • Add the confectioners (icing) sugar to a smaller bowl. Generously and evenly coat each ball of dough in confectioners' sugar and place onto prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes (for small cookies) or 12 minutes (for larger cookies). The cookies will come out soft from the oven but will harden up as they cool.
  • Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.

Notes

This recipe can be doubled for more cookies, with the same baking time.
88 calories each for smaller cookies. 146 calories each for larger cookies.

      hard yes they should be very cold and kinda hard when you roll them. also using a silicon mat for cookie baking helps with the spreading

      The chilling time will vary for each batch based on many things. However i do have a good trick to help it along. Lay out about 2 foot of saran wrap pour the dough in the middle and wrap it up. If you make it into a flat square it makes it easy to just cut with a knife to size.

    Made these for my daughter to take to work during this time. Followed the recipe word for word, except I didn’t have parchment paper.
    They came out beautifully and didn’t stick to the pans! I had no trouble in the cookies spreading like others had mentioned and I believe it’s in the refrigeration of the dough 4 hours or longer.
    The only thing I worry about now is that my daughter knows I can bake these, and her co-workers loved them,,, I’ll be making them all the time 🤣

      It doesnt get crispy outside though let it cool. As soon as out of oven, it is very soft and It gets only slightly harden. The taste and texture is perfect too. Could it be bec of electric oven? I set Temp 175’C for 10 min. Or is it i put it before oven is so hot?

    The cookies had a lovely fudgy texture. My only quibble is how outrageously sweet these were. I was looking for a recipe that could have some fondant as decoration in top—I’m making Valak crinkles for Halloween. Made another batch of dough with 25% less sugar plus instant coffee powder and crossing my fingers for better results. Anyhow, thanks for this recipe. Loved how straightforward this was!

    Delicious, fudge-y cookies. I devoured these at Christmas, and finally got around to making them today. Oh so good. It’s literally a brownie cookie, which is the best kind of cookie. These are my favorite now. I used coconut oil as my oil, and I did gently press them slightly just to be sure they’d flatten (I’ve had some cookies not flatten and still be ball shaped at the end of their bake, which is annoying when baking cookies). And just to add, I used Ghiradelli cocoa, instead of Hershey’s.
    Thanks for the recipe Karina!

    Hi. Thanks for sharing this recipe. They’re really soft and fudgy. How do you make the crust a bit harder? They’re too soft and delicate for packing them in a bag. You have to stack them up in a container instead.

      Hi Michael. If it doesn’t firm up, try adding a couple of tablespoons of flour to the batter, mixing it through and adding more as needed. You do need a soft, firm dough here. Please let me know how you go.

        Did as you suggested and after the chill in the fridge the dough was nice a firm and shaped up beautifully. The cookies are lovely to look at and oh so good to eat!! My new holiday favorite. Thank you!

      This dough does firm up in the fridge. I mixed mine last night and it was the consistency of brownie batter. I just scooped and rolled a dozen and the dough was just right.

      Hello!

      I would not recommend the stovetop even with a non stick pan. The oven is going to be the best way to get the best results. Thanks for following along with me!! xo

    Can the dough balls be frozen, then baked at a later date? I’m doing a test run of cookies I’m selling in holiday boxes and only need one or two for tasters until baking the orders next week. Love your beautiful photos btw!

    Do these get hard after baking or will they stay fudge-y hours after baked? Thinking of making these for Thanksgiving!

      They will stay soft and chewy as long as they are in a sealed container until you want to eat them.

    I didn’t refrigerate (because I was time crunched) and although the batter was very sticky instead of rolling the batter in the powdered sugar, I used a sifter to sift the powder on top. I baked them for about 12 minutes and they turned out great! I loved them so much and so did my family!

    I remember baking these as a kid and I think I may have to try them again but before I do, does anyone know if the recipe would need to be adjusted for high altitude?

      I would try it before adjusting to the high altitude. XO

        I made these for Christmas and mine came out more ball-like rather than cookie-like, still delicious though. But I live at high altitude (4900 elev.) and I added 1 tbsp extra of flour to the dry mix. Now, I’m not sure where I went wrong with the end result being more like the size of a rum ball than an actual cookie.

    when doubling the recipe do you double the baking powder and eggs as well? because i know that sometimes doubling the baking powder can have an effect on the cookie

      For these cookies you are welcome to skip the double baking powder but I would double eggs. Hope you enjoy it! XO

    This looked very close to a recipe I had several years ago that included instant coffee but after several moves I lost it. I added a Tbsp of instant coffee granules to the dough before refrigerating & these were amazing!

    I recently got a convection oven and am having a tough time judging he baking time of cookies especially. I haven’t baked in quite a while even in a regular oven, since the one I had wasn’t working very well, so am not an experienced baker at all! Any suggestions?

    This cookies were awesome for me to make because I am a kid baker and easier than lots of recipes that I have tried! Delicious cookies and I let them cool on the tray for the exact 5 minutes; they are nice and chewy.

    Hola Karina! I have a problem with these cookies – other than they are SO delicious – I just baked them for the second time and when I took them out of the oven, they were really uncooked, so i left them some more minutes in. Now they are hard 🙁

    The first time I make them, they also came uncooked after the 10 mins. What could be wrong?
