# Required Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 60 g unsweetened cocoa powder
02 - 200 g granulated sugar
03 - 125 g all-purpose flour
04 - 4 g baking powder
05 - 1 g salt
06 - 60 g powdered sugar (for coating)

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 60 ml vegetable oil
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 5 ml vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
02 - In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, stirring until a thick dough forms.
03 - Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to enhance the crinkle texture.
04 - Preheat oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Generously coat each ball in powdered sugar.
06 - Place the coated dough balls on the baking sheet spaced 5 cm apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until tops are crinkled and edges are set.
07 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Chilling the dough is essential to achieve the signature crinkle effect and prevent spreading.
02 - Coating generously with powdered sugar ensures pronounced cracks during baking.
