Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Ingredients
- Butter: To make these gluten-free chocolate crinkle cookies vegan, we use vegan butter. Regular butter can also be used.
- Milk: To make these gluten-free chocolate crinkle cookies plant-based, we use almond or oat milk. If you are not vegan, you can use regular milk.
- Sugar: You can use either sugar or a sugar substitute such as purecane in this chocolate cookie recipe.
- Vanilla: Vanilla extract gives these gluten-free cookies a delicious flavor.
- Baking Powder: Since these cookies are vegan, we don't use egg. Instead, a little baking powder will help them rise!
- Cocoa: Cocoa powder is essential for any chocolate cookie recipe.
- Chocolate Chips: Option to add regular or vegan chocolate chips into your cookie dough to make these cookies even more chocolatey.
- Flour: We use oat flour in this recipe to make these cookies gluten free.
- Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar is what gives our chocolate crinkle cookies that beautiful white crinkle look!

Instructions
Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, almond milk, vanilla, baking powder, ⅓ cup of purecane sugar substitute or 1 full cup of organic cane sugar, salt, and cocoa powder together until a smooth batter is formed. Add the flour and mix until a cookie dough forms. Option to fold in chocolate chips.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 1 ½ inches of distance between each cookie. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until they flattened, browned on the bottom, and lift easily off of the baking sheet.
- Allow the cookies to cool before tossing them or sprinkling them with the powdered sugar. Keep in mind that if using purecane powdered sugar substitute, you will need less of it because it is sweeter than regular sugar.
