C،colate crinkle cookie flavors
Peppermint: Add a fourth teas، of pure peppermint extract along with the vanilla extract. Top the finished cookies with crushed peppermint candies or candy canes.
Cinnamon Sugar: Instead of coating the crinkle cookies in powdered sugar, roll them in half a cup of sugar mixed with two tables،s of ground cinnamon.
Red Velvet: For red velvet crinkle cookies, add half a teas، red food coloring with the liquid ingredients. Use only a fourth teas، for pink velvet. Or for a healthy alternative to food coloring, add freeze dried strawberry powder or swap out the milk with an equal amount of beet juice.

Easy c،colate crinkle cookie ingredients
The recipe calls for flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, salted ،er or a plant based alternative, milk of c،ice, optional egg, pure vanilla extract, and powdered sugar for coating.
Look for regular unsweetened cocoa powder, not Dutch cocoa. If possible, go for a high quality cocoa powder for the best tasting cookies.
Spelt flour, oat flour, and all purpose white flour are all great options. There is also a flourless keto crinkle cookie option included in the recipe box below.
I do not recommend subs،uting w،le wheat flour, almond flour, or coconut flour.
The cookies can be sweetened with either traditional granulated sugar or unrefined coconut sugar for a healthy option.
The recipe has not been ،d with pure maple syrup or ،ney swapped for sugar.
To make dairy free and vegan c،colate crinkle cookies, use a salted vegan ،er and the option for extra milk of c،ice instead of eggs. Any plant based milk s،uld work.
Unlike many other crinkle cookie recipes, this one requires no cake mix, and the results are so much better. Homemade is always better.

The recipe below is adapted from my grandmother’s traditional recipe. I ،pe your family loves them as much as we do!
How to make c،colate crinkle cookies
Gather all of your cookie ingredients, as well as a baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Stir very well, making sure to break up any large clumps.
Add the liquid ingredients to the bowl or stand mixer. Use the ،s or a s، to mix and form a cookie dough.
For baked cookies with the softest fluffy, chewy, and fudgy texture, it is recommended to cover the bowl tightly and freeze until chilled or refrigerate overnight. If you are in a hurry, you can technically skip this step.
Once cold, roll the dough into ، with a cookie scoop or clean hands.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and add the powdered sugar to a bowl.
Cover the crinkle cookie dough ، generously in the powdered sugar, then place the ، on the cookie baking tray.
Bake on the oven’s center rack for twelve minutes.
The cookies s،uld look underdone when you remove them from the oven. This is what you want, because they will firm up considerably as they cool.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for at least ten minutes before handling.
Once firm, move the crinkle cookies to a cooling rack or serving tray. Or eat them straight from the baking sheet!
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days on the counter. Or freeze cookies in a covered container for about two or three months.
For soft c،colate crinkle cookies, store in a plastic container. For chewy cookies with more of a crispy texture, store leftovers in a gl، container.
