Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Whisk the caster sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, oil and eggs together in a large bowl.

  3. Combine the flour, a pinch of salt, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger in a separate bowl and fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture so that you have a very soft dough.

  4. Roll the cookies into balls of around 40g/1½ oz – you should get about 15–16 that are golf ball-sized, then pat them down to flatten into thick discs.

  5. Put the icing sugar into a bowl and toss the cookies in it, patting them so that they’re heavily coated.

  6. Spread the biscuits about 3-fingers apart as they will spread a bit. Bake for around 16 minutes, or until they have risen slightly and have a crinkle and cracked design.

Recipe tips

These crinkle cookies are gorgeous and fudgey but if you prefer a more crumble biscuit you can cook them for a further 5 minutes.

For a rounder crinkle cookie, don't flatten the balls into discs before baking.
