Chocolate Krinkle Cookies

Holiday baking often includes chocolate treats, and these Chocolate Krinkle Cookies are a perfect addition to your baking repertoire. The recipe uses cocoa powder and oil to create a fudgy texture, while rolling the dough balls in icing sugar before baking gives them their signature crackled appearance. The eggs help bind the ingredients and contribute to the cookies' rich flavour and chewy consistency.
