Chocolate Crinkle Cookies (gluten free & dairy free)

My chocolate crinkle cookies are a delicious cross between a cookie and a brownie, covered in icing sugar which creates a lovely crackly effect once baked. They are so easy to make, gluten free, dairy free and taste amazing. If you do make this recipe I’d love to see, don’t forget to tag me in your photos over on social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flour do you use to make the brownies? 

For this recipe, and the majority of my bakes, I use the FREEE Gluten Free Plain Flour which works really well in gluten free baking. I also add xanthan gum as this helps to bind the cookies together and prevents them from crumbling.

How long will the cookies last?

The cookies will last for around 4 days in an airtight container, however are always best eaten on the first day.

  • Such a delicious recipe! it’s just like a brownie in cookie form .Super rich and gooey ,looks super fun with the crinkled icing sugar.I love your recipe as they perfectly accomadate my gluten and dairy intolerance while still tasting exactly like the non free stuff! Keep doing what you’re doing and I can’t wait to see what you have in store next! 🥰

  • Can I freeze the dough until I'm ready to bake? How long would you estimate the dough would keep in the freezer/what adjustments would you recommend?

    • You can freeze the dough yes. It would probably last a good few months and you'd just need to defrost before rolling in icing sugar and baking.
