About this recipe
These gluten-free chocolate crinkle cookies are super quick and easy to make, a sibling to this popular red velvet crinkle cookies. They are very soft, moist, and chewy.
The cracked (or crinkled effect) is achieved by coating them in confectioner’s sugar before baking them.
Perfect, not only for holidays but for any occasion, because they are so easy to make and they don’t have very complex ingredients.
Ingredients
The main ingredients for this recipe are:
- Flours: we use for this recipe a mix of brown rice flour, corn starch, and potato starch. The cookies are moist and chewy.
- Baking powder: leaving agent. Be sure is gluten-free.
- Sugars: we used brown sugar and white granulated sugar.
- Cocoa powder: ground cocoa powder.
- Eggs: room temperature eggs are better.
- Oil: we used vegetable oil. I think coconut oil should work well, I haven’t tried it.
- Powder sugar: to give the characteristic termination to cookies.
How to make GF Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Whisk brown rice flour, corn starch, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl beat the eggs with the sugars. Add the cocoa powder and the oil, and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix until well incorporated and a dough forms.
Let chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (if it’s more, better).
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
With a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls, and roll them into powdered sugar. They must be completely covered.
Place the balls into the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10/12 minutes, keep in mind that all ovens are different.
Let cool before removing to a wire rack.
Storing
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for 5 days.
