Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Chewy fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are pretty and easy to make. They’re rich and decadent and are perfect for cookie exchanges!

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredient mixture to butter mixture. Mix in.
Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Scoop dough into balls about 1½ tablespoons in size. Roll in powdered sugar, and place on baking sheets, about 2-inches apart.
Bake for 8-9 minutes. Cookies will still look very soft in the center when removed from oven.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack.
