How to Make Hershey's Crinkle Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
  7. Once chilled, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll each ball in 1 cup powdered sugar until fully coated.
  9. Place the coated dough balls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crackled.
  11. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
