Crinkle cookies are usually rolled in confectioner's sugar, but these are rolled in sprinkles to create that crinkle effect. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are not too thin and not too thick, but they are certainly pretty, delicious, and chewy! These would look adorable on any holiday cookie plate!

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sprinkles (nonpareils)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F and by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat the butter for 3 minutes until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until incorporated.
- Measure in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Beat until just incorporated. Don't overmix - when you cannot see any more of the white flour, stop beating.
- Portion two tablespoons of the cookie dough and roll into a ball. Roll the ball into the sprinkles and place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Continue to roll the cookie dough into balls and into the sprinkles. Place the balls on the baking sheet, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each ball! You will need to bake these cookies in batches, baking one sheet at a time. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
