Choco Lava Crinkles

These Choco Lava Crinkles are rich, fudgy cookies with a gooey molten center and a classic crinkled powdered sugar coating. Each bite delivers intense chocolate flavor wrapped in a soft, chewy texture that’s perfect for any sweet craving.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 20 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix sugar and oil until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls. Roll each in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar.
  6. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, evenly spaced.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until crinkled on top but soft in the center.
  8. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies and less spread.
  • Use Dutch-processed cocoa for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Double-coating with sugar enhances the crinkle effect.
