Red Velvet and Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

December 10, 2018 By Alan

I don’t know why but as soon as Christmas starts to arrive I fell like all my desserts need to be drowned in icing sugar haha. These crinkle cookies are gorgeous and in this occasion I’m showing you how to make them red velvet and also chocolate.

These crinkle cookies are delicious and have a lovely texture. They’re really like a round brownie that’s covered in sugar. Also they look really really chistmasy to me LOL.

Red velvet crinkle cookies can actually be of any colour you like. A cute idea is to make them half green and half red. They’re really fun to make, too so you can easily make them with children. Another cute recipe you could make are shortbread cookies.

When you get to the point where you’re making the icing sugar coat you really need to bare in mind that it really needs to be thick. Don’t worry if you think it’s going to be too sweet because the dough is already not that sweet to compensate. This thick layer of sugar is what’s then going to create the crinkle effect of the cookies. If it’s too thin it will go translucent in the oven.

For the crinkle effect

  2. Take them to a preheated oven at 180C for 8min. 

  3. Wait a couple minutes for them to cool down before removing them from the tray so they don’t break.
