Chocolate Crinkles

I remember back in highschool, one of the famous snacks are chocolate crinkles. Many years ago, they sell this sweet treat for P2.00. I was having one of those nostalgic moments and I thought maybe I should try baking this yummy treat.

I always thought that it might be difficult to make but this is absolutely easy and it took less than half an hour to make. It also helped when my girlfriend's sister suggested to give this a try since I was also in the mood to try something new.

Here is the finished product. It is soft, chewy and absolutely to die for. Here is the product I used. Enjoy!

Filipino style Chocolate Crinkles

Ingredients:

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar


Procedure:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hour. I kept my dough in the fridge overnight.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one inch balls. I like to use 1 tbsp measuring scoop for this recipe. Coat each ball in confectioners' sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
