In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and vegetable oil. Whisk until well combined and the sugar starts to dissolve slightly.

Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick, uniform dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial for the crinkles to hold their shape and develop their characteristic texture.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare two small bowls, one with white sugar and another with powdered sugar for coating.

Scoop out portions of the chilled dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls. First, roll each ball in the white sugar, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, roll it generously in the powdered sugar, making sure it's completely covered.

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. The crinkles will puff up and then crack, creating their signature appearance.

Remove from the oven and let the crinkles cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and prevents breakage.
