Instructions
Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, milk, vanilla, egg, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder together until a smooth batter is formed. Add the flour and mix until a cookie dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into even balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake according for 12 minutes as they spread in the oven, the sugar will crackle into that classic snowy crinkle look.For less mess, scoop and bake the dough balls as-is. Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar. The effect won’t be as bold, but it still gives a sweet finish with minimal cleanup.
- Allow the cookies to cool before on a wire rack before enjoying.
