Gluten Free Easy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipe - the best christmas cookies recipe, gluten free, nut free, christmas cookie swap recipes

Does anyone else find Christmas treats so much more enjoyable than "everyday" treats? Because I most certainly do.

As soon as the Christmas carols are playing in stores, you'll find me in the kitchen - apron on, Christmas carols playing, flour everywhere and Christmas cookies being made.

Each year I like to add a few new recipes to our rotation of old favourites, and this year, my new favourite may be these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies.

They're almost like a brownie, with crisp edges and a pillowy sweet powdered sugar topping.

Better still? Whilst they look impressive, they are SO easy to make - and gluten free too!

Let me share the recipe with you! >>

To make these cookies, you'll need:

Cocoa powdered
Gluten free plain flour
Cornflour/cornstarch
2 eggs
Sugar
Oil
Baking powder
Powdered sugar/icing sugar

The cookie dough does need to be chilled, however, you can save time by making these the night before and baking the cookies the next morning/day.

Here's the recipe!

Ingredients

1/2 cup (50g) cocoa powder
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1/4 cup (60ml) oil (use a neutral tasting oil like coconut, vegetable or rice bran oil)
2 eggs
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp (105g) gluten free plain flour
1/4 cup (30g) cornflour/cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup icing sugar/powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, mix your cocoa, sugar, oil and eggs until combined.
Add all of your remaining ingredients, except the icing sugar. Mixing until just combined.
Chill your dough for 2 hours.
Whilst your dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 180C/355F and line your cookie sheets with baking paper.
Once chilled, scoop your cookie dough out with a spoon, rolling into a ball and tossing in the icing sugar until coated. Place your cookie balls onto your tray, flattening slightly.
Continue until all of your mix is used up.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until cracked and edges are cooked. Cookies will be soft but will firm up when cooled.
