Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the sugar mixture. Beat until fluffy and well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, as this helps with rolling.
- Once chilled, scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized portions. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until completely coated.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to bake slightly as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, indulge yourself in these scrumptious Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies! Whether for a special occasion or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, these cookies will not disappoint.
