Creating your own Grinch Crinkle Cookies is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until well combined.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat well until smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
7. Form Cookies: Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in powdered sugar until fully coated.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they start to crack on the surface.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

By following these steps, you’ll be rewarded with a batch of festive Grinch Crinkle Cookies that are sure to impress!
