I made these vegan chocolate crinkle cookies for my family’s holiday party last month. The crackled sugar tops made the cookies festive, and my grandma said they were the prettiest cookies she had ever seen.
Delicious Fudgy Vegan Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
These chocolate crinkle cookies feature a soft and fudgy center with a beautiful crackled exterior dusted in powdered sugar. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and bake, yielding approximately 12 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Chill Dough: Refrigerate the dough for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form balls of dough and roll them in powdered sugar to coat.
- Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the tops crackle and the cookies are set.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

I keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. The cookies stay fudgy, and I let them come to room temperature before serving.
