If you love chocolate mint, especially with Andes Chocolate Mint candies, these gluten free chocolate crinkle cookies should go onto your must-try cookie list.
These cookies have the perfect blend of chocolate and mint. Can you eat just one? Chocolate cookie recipes are definitely my favorite :-). (You can also try one of these gluten free cookie recipes!)

Have you seen the big chocolate crinkle cookies at your gluten free bakery?
Gluten free crinkle cookies are always so tempting with their sugary glaze. These gluten free cookies are soft, delicious, and they are bursting with chocolaty mint flavor.
I have wanted to make a gluten free chocolate crinkle cookie for a long time. We made these gluten free brookies last week, but now we are ready for crinkle cookies!
There is something about forming dough balls and rolling them in powdered sugar that makes these cookies more hands-on and fun. My big hesitation is I was afraid I wouldn't have the self-control to eat just one. Do you have cookie recipes that you try not to make because you would eat them all?
If you are a cookie-a-holic like me, then you may need to make a few different cookie recipes so you have a lot of cookies on hand :-). Try these Anyway You Like Them Pantry Cookies and these Gluten Free Funfetti Sugar Cookies.
You will find these cookies will inspire your kids to find new ways to sneak them. If you want to try another fun crinkle cookie, give these Gluten Free Honey Crinkle Cookies a try too!
You may laugh, but when your kids try to distract you so they can steal another cookie, you will know exactly what I mean :-).
Instructions:
Add your dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to blend.
I have tested two gluten free flour blends in this recipe. I liked King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. This doesn't mean other blends won't work, I just haven't tested any others. Try to avoid flour blends that are high in starch.
As always, if your blend does not contain Xanthan Gum, you will need to add 1 teaspoon.
What cocoa powders are gluten free?
Most cocoa powders are gluten free but ALWAYS check the ingredient labels just in case. My favorites are Anthony's Cocoa Powder and Ghirardelli.
Mix up the wet and dry ingredients. I love using Rodelle Vanilla Extract. This vanilla is made from high-quality Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans. The flavor really comes through in this cookie recipe.
Once you get your dough together, use a spoon to scoop out some dough. Roll the dough into balls and then roll in powdered sugar.
Is powdered sugar gluten free?
Powdered sugar is gluten free, but it is always important to read the label just to make sure.
Press the dough balls flat to about 1/2 inch and then bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.

Tools:
- Cookie sheet. That is a given, these cookie sheets are so easy to clean...and really affordable.
- Almond flour. This is not only certified gluten free (no cross-contamination!) but it is super fine. I love using this almond flour to add protein to my sweets.
- Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Flour Blend. Light and fluffy, this flour mix just rocks!

Karen
Can I make this recipe and exclude the mint? My son doesnโt care for mint. Thank you.
Sandi Gaertner
You can definitely exclude the mint. Thanks for reaching out, have a wonderful holiday ๐
MaryAnne Wiggins
Could these cookies be made with gluten free flour such as Cup-4-Cup or Namaste Gluten Free Perfect Flour Blend ?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi MaryAnne. Short answer is I think so. The ingredients in both of those flours are very different. Cup 4 Cup has dried milk powder, which should be okay. Namaste's blend has a lot more starch. If you do try one or the other, please come back and let us know how they turned out so other readers can benefit ๐

Amy Nash
I never even try to eat just one. I always eat cookies in even numbers - one for each hip. ๐ Mint & chocolate is my favorite! Thank you for this delicious gf version!
Sandi Gaertner
LOL, I couldn't eat just one either ๐
Luc
Would after eight chocolate be an ok substitute?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Luc, I haven't used this chocolate. Please write back and let us know how your cookies turn out.

Michelle Ferrand
This recipe looks sooooo good! I have quite a few GF friends, so I'll keep this recipe in mind next time I bake for them ๐
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you Michelle ๐
Linda Tanzini
Could I use regular brown rice flour mix in place of almond flour? I make my own mix and find almond flour too expensive.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Linda, I would say brown rice flour and almond flour behave very differently. If you want to skip the almond flour, add 1/4 cup of your blend instead of the almond flour. (Make sure your mix has xanthan gum to help bind it together.) Thank you for writing.
Pam
Do you think the dough would freeze well? I'd like to freeze some and make a gift of them for Christmas. And having cookies ready in the freezer is just awesome any time of year.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Pam, I do think these will freeze well, but I recommend you freeze without rolling the dough in the powdered sugar. Thaw them out then roll and flatten before baking. Please write back and let us know how this worked. I am sure the information would help a lot of other readers. Take care, Sandi

I most DEFINITELY cannot eat just one. Especially if they look like this, Sandi! I've been dreaming about these deliciously minty crinkle cookies since I saw them over on your FB page. Mind sending some over? ๐ The combo of chocolate and mint always reminds me fondly of Andes. YUM. Pinning, of course! xo
Sandi Gaertner
I am happy to send some...will need to perfect these without eggs for you though. What egg substitute do you use most?
