Instructions
- Gather all necessary ingredients for the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies.
- In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cocoa, and oil; beat in eggs one by one, then stir in vanilla until well mixed.

- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper; roll dough into 1-inch balls, coat each in confectioners' sugar, and place 1 inch apart on sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, then let stand on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Enjoy your freshly baked Chocolate Crinkle Cookies!
Notes
Chilling the dough for at least 4 hours is crucial for easier handling and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Ensure each dough ball is thoroughly coated in confectioners' sugar for the best crinkle effect.
