If you like chocolate and anything fudgy than stop what you’re doing and make these yummy gluten-free chocolate crinkle cookies. They bake into the most beautiful cookie with the deep dark chocolatey cracks and a layer of snowy powdered sugar. And there are mini chocolate chips tucked inside for an extra burst of chocolate.

What Makes These Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies So Good:
- Incredibly fudgy in the middle
- Crispy and sugary on the outside
- Beautiful contrast with the dark chocolate cracks and the snowy powdered sugar
- Even better the second day
Pro Tips for Making Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies:
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 2 hours.
- Using brown sugar in this recipe results in a chewy browny like texture.
- Before baking, you’ll roll the balls of cookie dough in granulated sugar first and then in powdered sugar. This will keep the powdered sugar from dissolving into the cookie.
- Line your baking pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
For Best Results Use Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour Mix:
I have been on a quest to make the best gluten-free cookies that I can for my family. If you’re anything like me going gluten-free completely turned my world upside down. I didn’t understand it and I certainly didn’t know how to cook anymore. So over the course of the last 10 years, I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with gluten-free flours and recipes.
I’ve tried making my own flour mixes, making things grain-free, trying different premade flour mixes. It’s been pretty non-stop trial and era until I purchased my first box of Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour Mix.
When I first made some cookies with Better Batter I was so excited. I called my family into the kitchen to try them and the looks on their faces after trying their first bites were priceless.
There was no grittiness, no crumbly dry crumbles, no thoughts of “well, that’ll do”, no, it was pure delight and giddiness.
So when I say for best results use Better Batter. You can believe that I fully believe it. And this is not a sponsored post, I just love it that much. It’s made our gluten-free world a much happier place.

When I try to print this recipe it gives me a bunch of ads with it. I’m a little frustrated with it and don’t want to be printing ads with my recipe. Besides that the recipe is AMAZING and my husband requests these cookies all the time!

I’m so glad your husband loves these cookies! That’s wonderful. And I’m so sorry about the ads printing with the recipe. I’ve contacted my ad network and they are fixing it. If there is an ad left I believe it can be clicked off. Thanks for letting me know!
Vickie says
Wow! I made these when we were expecting company. Your recipes never disappoint. So I knew they would come out just as delicious as all the rest and they certainly did. In fact they are my new favorite cookie. There are a lot of gluten free people at church and I usually bring the dessert so I’m so thankful that you have so many different options. Thank you so much.
