15-Minute Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Gluten-free chocolate crinkle cookies are the perfect holiday sweet treat, with a rich, fudgy chocolate flavor and a soft, chewy texture wrapped in a snowy powdered sugar coating. Especially since they only take 15 minutes and need just 6 ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 17 ounce 1 box gluten-free chocolate cake mix dry
  • 1 box chocolate pudding mix dry
  • 8 tablespoon butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  • In a stand mixer, combine the dry cake mix, the dry pudding mix, butter and eggs then mix well
  • Using a mini cookie (ice cream) scoop, roll dough into about 1” balls
  • In another bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch
  • Roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture
  • Place balls on a silicone mat lined baking sheet and bake cookies 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown on the bottom and still soft to the touch on top (I like them just undercooked)
  • Let the cookies rest for 1-2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack

Notes

Tips for making the best chocolate crinkle cookies

  • Roll generously: When rolling the cookie dough in the powdered sugar, don't be shy! Make sure you get enough powdered sugar mixture on there for that snowy effect.
  • Don't over bake: These cookies should still be soft in the middle when you take them out of the oven, they will firm up more as they cool.
  • Chill the dough: If your cookie dough feels sticky, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
