Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Peppermint Crinkle Cookies Delight.
Step 1
To start your delicious journey, grab a mixing bowl and blend together the white sugar, cocoa powder, and vegetable oil until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 2
Next, add in the eggs and a splash of peppermint extract, then beat the mixture until it’s silky and uniform.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into your cocoa blend, stirring gently until everything is fully combined.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to fold in those delightful semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for that perfect chocolatey bite.
Step 6
Once your dough is ready, cover it with plastic wrap and pop it in the freezer for about an hour, or if you prefer, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least three hours to firm up nicely.
Step 7
While your dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 8
When the dough is ready, scoop out rounded tablespoons and roll them into little balls with your hands.
Step 9
For a sweet finishing touch, roll each ball in confectioners' sugar until they’re completely coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about two inches of space between each one.
Step 10
Bake these delightful treats in your preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Step 11
Once they’re done, let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the joy of sharing these scrumptious cookies with friends and family!.
