These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are a holiday classic that feature brownie-like centers and crispy outsides coated with powdered sugar. An instant hit for holiday parties and cookie swaps, this recipe is one I've been making 30+ years and it always turns out perfectly. This year I've swapped in my go-to gluten-free all-purpose flour to make these accessible to a wider audience. They puff up even a bit more and still feature that gooey, delightful center. The gluten-free versions are featured in photos on wire racks, while the other images are of the original recipe with all-purpose flour.

Add sugar and vegetable oil to a mixing bowl and cream together. Stir in cocoa powder.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing between each. Stir in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stir until fully combined and no clumps appear.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add powdered sugar to a bowl.
Roll dough into balls. Coat with powdered sugar. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, leaving at least 2 inches between each. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes.
Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes and transfer to a wire rack to completely cool. Store in an air-tight container.

Notes

Baking for 11 minutes works perfectly for my oven. Depending on consistency and oven temperature, you might need to bake for 1 minute less or up to 13 minutes. Remember cookies will continue to bake as they cool on the pan.
