Gooey Chocolate Crackle Cookies image

This is the absolute favorite cookie in my house. I've been using this exact recipe for the past 6-8 years which originally came from a high school cafeteria cookbook. It was tough trying to get this recipe, then after I got it, it was for 350 servings ! It's now scaled down to 4 dozen, but they don't last long...maybe 350 cookies IS the way to go ! ETA: Reviewers have added an extra cup of flour to the mix with success. I still make them as originally posted.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
3/4 cup powdered baking cocoa, plus
2 tablespoons powdered baking cocoa (Hersheys brand)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Mix margarine and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Add oil and vanilla, mix.
  • Add eggs and mix.
  • Add flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, mixing all together.
  • Let chill for a couple hours or overnight.
  • Scoop dough into tablespoon balls using a scoop.
  • Roll in powdered sugar.
  • Place on greased pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 11-12 minutes.
  • Let cool on rack.
  • NOTES:.
  • You can make the cookies without letting the dough cool, it's just a bit sticky to work with.
  • I use a #40 cookie scoop which is about the size of a tablespoon.
  • I spray my pans for the first batch, but don't do it after that.
  • No need to flatten down the cookie, it will spread as it bakes.
  • If using a convection oven, set your temperature at 335° and bake for 10-12 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but these cookies were still really good. The gooey center and crispy crust were the perfect combination.
