Ingredients

  • 150 gms (1 + 1/4 cups) Flour
  • 45 gms (1/2 cup) Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 56 gms (1/4 cup) Unsalted Butter softened
  • 200 gms (1 cup) Sugar
  • 50 gms (4 tbsp) Oil
  • 81 gms (1/3 cup) Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together for 1 minute until smooth. Gradually whisk in the oil, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until well combined.
  • Fold the sifted dry ingredients to form a dough. The dough will be a little sticky and moist as compared to a regular cookie dough.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight. This step is crucial for the perfect texture and crinkle effect.
  • Place 1 teaspoon portions of Nutella on a parchment-lined tray and freeze them for 1 hour.
  • The next day, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it gently with your palms. Place a frozen Nutella portion in the center, then carefully fold the dough around the Nutella and roll it into a ball. Chill the dough balls again for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll the dough balls in sifted icing sugar, ensuring a thick, even coating. For the best crinkle effect, repeat the coating process by rolling the dough balls in icing sugar a second time before baking.
  • Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly undone, just like a brownie.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • The optional Nutella filling adds a fudgy surprise to the cookies, making them extra special. Freeze it for an hour before stuffing into the dough.
  • The dough needs to be chilled overnight to get the perfect texture. Don't skip this step!
  • For an even crinkle effect, be sure to coat the dough balls in icing sugar twice.
  • Note that the number of cookies will vary depending on how much dough you scoop for each cookie.
