How to Make Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
These cookies are super easy to make! The secret is to make sure the dough is very cold and to re-roll the cookies twice in powdered sugar for a guaranteed crackle effect.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the sugar and oil, mix together for 30 seconds. Add the eggs and vanilla, continue to beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix until well combined.
- Cover the bowl with aluminum foil and set the bowl in the freezer for 60 minutes.
- After 60 minutes remove the dough from the freezer. Scope out the dough to form 1-inch balls, then place the balls of dough onto two baking sheets. Place the baking sheets back in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Roll the balls of dough in powdered sugar until fully coated. Then re-roll the balls again.
- Place the balls of dough onto the baking sheet, about 2 – inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Serve.
