Ingredients used to make the Best Crinkle Brownie Cookies

This recipe does not use a brownie mix, it is made from scratch using:

  • Almond flour - this has been a super important ingredient for gluten free recipes as well as Passover recipes. Almond meal takes the place of white flour as a base and is super tasty in chocolate recipes.
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder - we like Dutch processed cocoa because it has a richer flavor.
  • Sugar - to sweeten the cookies.
  • Salt - helps in baking.
  • Baking powder - also helps in baking. Make sure that you are using an approved baking powder if you are making these Chocolate Brownie Crinkle Cookies on Passover as regular baking powder often contains corn starch.
  • Potato starch - part of the cookie base.
  • Eggs - binds the ingredients together and provides a fluffiness to the recipe.
  • Powdered sugar - the crinkle cookie dough is rolled in powdered sugar right before they bake. This is what creates the melt in your mouth coating.
  • Oil - we like to use avocado oil for recipes like this but you can also use extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, or any other cooking oil.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions on how to make the Best Crinkle Brownie Cookies

The brownie like cookie with melt in your mouth coating can be yours by following these simple steps:

Step 1 - Make the Batter

Start by beating the eggs and oil in a separate bowl and adding them to the main mixing bowl along with the dry ingredients cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Next, add the almond flour and potato starch. Use a whisk or spatula to stir until all of the batter ingredients are combined.

mix in almond flour and potato starch

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. This allows the Crinkle Cookie Batter to set together properly.

Step 2 - Roll the Cookie Dough in powdered sugar

Dump the powdered sugar into a bowl. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop approximately 4 oz of dough into a ball and place it into the bowl of powdered sugar.

scoop dough balls into powdered sugar

Roll the ball of dough in the powdered sugar until it is completely coated. Place the coated dough ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Repeat until all of the dough has been used up.

Step 3 - Bake the Crinkle Brownie Cookies

Bake at 350ºF for 12 minutes in the oven. The Passover Chocolate Cookies will flatten and the powdered sugar coating with crack at the top giving them their signature look.

The Best Crinkle Brownie Cookie Recipe FAQ

Why are my crinkle cookies flat?

You may not have chilled the dough long enough. Chilling the crinkle cookie dough overnight helps it to firm up before it bakes. When properly chilled, the dough does not flatten out completely when baking. Rather, the crinkle cookies take on their signature shape. If you did not chill the dough for long enough, then they will flatten out when baking.

How do I get crackly tops on cookies?

It's all about the powdered sugar. Rolling the crackle cookie dough in powdered sugar before baking coats the cookie in sugar. The sugar draws some of the moisture out of the top of the cookie before it completely bakes and this causes the cracks in the top.

    These are delicious! I ended up bringing them to Easter dinner to have a kosher for Passover dessert for my kids (who wants to be the mean mommy denying her Jewish kids dessert at an Easter dinner on top of all of the other parts of the meal they are being denied) and they were a huge hit! Everyone (including those who aren’t on Passover diet restrictions) loved them.
