    Like a lot of others, I grew up with Chocolate Crinkle Cookies at Christmas time. I think they were one of my most favorite holiday cookies my mom made. Now, here is my version to share with my kids. Kiss Crinkle Cookies.

    Can you tell that I associate these cookies with Christmas and the holidays? Kiss Crinkle... Kris Kringle... LOL!



    While my mom always used the chocolate squares and melted them on the stove to make her cookies, I prefer to use baking cocoa powder. I am much more likely to have it on hand so I can make these yummy cookies whenever the mood hits.

    chocolate crinkle cookies with a holiday hershey kiss in the middle on a black rack

    Ingredients needed

    • 4 Eggs
    • ½ cup Canola Oil
    • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
    • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
    • 1 cup Baking Cocoa Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
    • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
    • ¾ cup Powdered Sugar

    Directions

    1. Add eggs to a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat well. Add the oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Beat until completely combined.
    2. Next, add the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until well combined.
    3. Refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.
    4. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
    5. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
    6. Using spoons or a cookie scoop, form dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch balls. Thoroughly roll into powdered sugar and place on the cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.
    7. Bake the cookies for 10 - 12 minutes. Do not over bake.
    8. Let the cookies cool for a minute or two on the cookie sheet and then move them to a cooling rack. Cool another 2 to 3 minutes and slightly press a Hershey Kiss into the center of the cookie.
    9. This recipe makes between 4 and 5 dozen cookies.

    Tips for making these cookies

    • Refrigerate the dough at least a couple of hours, or even overnight, before baking.
    • It helps to also refrigerate dough in between batches if it gets too soft.
    • Don't skimp on the powdered sugar when rolling the cookie dough balls.
    • Let the cookies cool several minutes before adding the kisses or they will start to melt. But, if you let them cool too much they won't stick.
    • These cookies are great to share with friends, neighbors, and family during the holiday season.

        I have not tried to do that, but it would probably be fine.
