These flourless gluten-free chocolate crinkle cookies are quick, ridiculously chocolatey, and come together in about 20 minutes of active work. With a crackly top and fudgy center, they’re the perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, extra (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In your large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  3. Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. After the dough has chilled, place the extra ¼ cup of powdered sugar in a small bowl.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out rounded tablespoons of dough. Roll each portion into a smooth ball between your palms.
  7. Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until completely coated. Be generous for the best crinkles.
  8. Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will look puffy and crackled on top; they should be soft when you take them out.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  11. Repeat with the remaining dough, ensuring the baking sheet has cooled down between batches.

Notes

Don’t skip the chilling step—it prevents the cookies from spreading too much. Roll the dough balls generously in powdered sugar for the best crinkled look. Watch the bake time carefully; cookies go from perfectly done to overbaked quickly. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes to set properly.
