Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cherry extract
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup dried cherries
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar and vegetable oil together until well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and cherry extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dried cherries to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Step 6

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dough is firm enough to shape.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 9

Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until thoroughly coated, then place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are crackled and the cookies are set around the edges.

Step 11

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your fudgy, cherry-infused Black Forest Crinkle Cookies!
