My FB friend posted crinkles on her wall last week and since then, I had a bad craving for those fudgy cookies. Crinkles are quite common in the Philippines. I remembered baking and supplying it to a "pasalubong" store way back in early 2001. No matter how stressful office work was the past few days, I managed to bake a small batch last Tuesday night. Yes, I finished at 10pm. Sabina and I had a piece before going to bed.
For those who have a soft spot for crinkles, here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
Yield: approximately 40 pcs.medium sized cookies
1/2 c canola oil
1 c Dutch processed cocoa powder
1 1/2 c sugar
4 pcs. eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 c plain flour
1 t baking powder
Powdered sugar, for rolling the cookie dough
Procedure:
Pre-heat oven at 350 degF or 180degC.
In a mixing bowl, combine oil and cocoa powder then, mix using a wooden spoon. Add sugar. Then gradually add eggs and vanilla then mix until blended. Lastly, add the dry ingredients. It will be a thick and heavy batter. Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for an hour or so for easier handling and for the nice crinkled look.
Once chilled, form into small balls and roll in powdered sugar.
Put them in cookie trays lined with grease proof paper. Bake straight away for 8 to 10 minutes.
Note: If the cookies spread too much that it doesn't have the nice cracks , make sure the dough is well chilled. Don't over work the dough while forming it into a ball as it will change the temperature.
Should you wish to bake few cookies, simply cut the recipe into half.
