How to Make Valentine Crinkle Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, combine sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Place your cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once chilled, form 1-inch balls and roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough balls on it.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and tops are crinkled.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For an extra festive touch, add pink or red sprinkles before baking.
