Description
Delightful Red, White, and Blue Crinkle Cookies perfect for celebrations.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup red sprinkles
- 1/2 cup blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll the balls in powdered sugar, coating them generously.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle red and blue sprinkles on top of each cookie ball for decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a festive touch, add white chocolate chips to the dough for extra sweetness and flavor.
- Substitute the red and blue sprinkles with any color combination to match different holidays or celebrations.
