Peppermint Crinkle Cookies

Why are They Called Crinkle Cookies?

How did crinkle cookies get there name? It comes from the outer coating of powdered sugar. If you’ve made crinkle cookies before, you’re probably familiar with the process of coating the dough ball in powdered sugar before baking. After they come out of the oven, they have a crackly texture.

How do You Know When Crinkles Are Done?

When you’re making chocolate peppermint crinkles, you’ll know they’re done when the top looks crackly, and the bottoms are a little crispy without being too burnt. This will give your cookies an irresistible flavors, and make sure they’re both soft and a little crispy!

Can I Use Oil Instead of Butter in Crinkles?

If you’ve make classic chocolate crinkle cookies in the past, you probably used butter for the dough. Luckily, you don’t need to use butter if you don’t want to for this recipe! (Although you can if you want) Just be sure to use either 1/2 cup vegetable/Canola oil, OR 1/2 cup Melted Butter. Either one works.
