Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-2 drops blue food coloring (or more to achieve desired color)

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

      Combine Sugars and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

          Add Food Coloring: Add the blue food coloring, stirring until uniformly mixed. Adjust as desired to achieve your preferred shade of blue.

            Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough will be thick.

              Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

                Form Cookies: Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the tops have formed cracks - they should still be soft in the middle.

                    Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Serve and Enjoy: Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving if desired. Enjoy your deliciously unique Blue Crinkle Cookies!
