Delightful Delicacies: The Joy of Crinkle Christmas Cookies

15. 3. 2024

Crinkle cookies, or crackle cookies, are a popular dessert characterized by their cracked, powdered sugar coating.

These cookies have a soft and fudgy texture; often flavored with ingredients like chocolate, lemon, or red velvet. The cracked appearance is achieved as the cookies spread while baking, creating a delightful contrast between the dark, chocolatey interior and the snowy white exterior.

These unique cookies are not only easy to make but also look luxurious and will be the first to disappear from the plate.

Crinkle cookies are a beloved classic in the world of baking. Perfect for holiday gatherings or an everyday treat, they are also a great snack.

So why not simplify your holiday baking this year and try our Christmas crinkle recipes? Your taste buds will thank you!

Additional Tips for the Best Crinkle Cookies:

• Roll the dough first in granulated sugar and then in powdered sugar. Sugar attracts water, absorbing the moisture from the inside, giving you that beautiful wrinkled effect on the outside. It is a good idea to use granulated sugar first and then powdered sugar so that it sticks and does not melt during baking.
• A combination of both baking soda and baking powder is needed to create the right amount of spread for the cookie to get perfect crinkles.
• Bake One Sheet at a Time – if you have two oven racks, then baking two sheets at once makes the most sense. But for these finicky cookies, a little patience is required. Because heat rises, the hottest part of the oven is at the top; if you bake two sheets at a time, the first tray shields the second from being exposed to this heat. Without that blast of heat, the second tray of cookies doesn’t create crinkles
