How do I make moist, soft cookies?

To make cookies with a fudgy brownie texture, measure flour properly by using a kitchen scale or by using a spoon to transfer flour from your container to your measuring cups before leveling off the top. Bake only until the centers look soft because the cookies will continue to cook and firm up as they cool.

Can I freeze crinkle cookies?

Yes! You can freeze these cookies after they have baked and cooled. Stick them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature or heat in the microwave or oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit before serving.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking trays with parchment paper to ensure the cookies come off cleanly.
In a large bowl with a whisk, beat vegetable oil, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, sour cream or greek yogurt, room temperature egg, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Pour properly-measured flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl and beat on low speed until smooth.
Divide the dough into 1 1⁄2 tablespoon balls (about 35g) and roll each ball in powdered sugar until
fully coated. Place the balls at least 2 inches apart on your baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 8-11 minutes or until the tops are cracked, edges are just slightly firm, and
centers are soft. Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a
cooling rack or plate to finish cooling.
Store the cookies tightly covered, in an airtight container, or individually wrapped at room
temperature for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temperature sour cream or greek yogurt and a room temperature egg in the recipe to ensure the cookies bake evenly.

Bake Time: Make sure to keep an eye on the cookies while they are baking because all ovens cook differently. The cookies should look soft in the center and will continue to set as they cool. If you bake them too long, they will not have the chewy brownie texture!
