If you love chocolate mint, especially with Andes Chocolate Mint candies, these gluten free chocolate mint crinkle cookies should go onto your must try cookie list.
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.
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?
Can you eat just one? Chocolate cookie recipes are definitely my favorite :-).
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.
You may laugh, but when your kids try to distract you so they can steal another cookie, you will know exactly what I mean :-).
How to make gluten free crinkle cookies:
Mix up the wet and dry ingredients. I love using Rodelle Vanilla Extract. This vanilla is made from high quality Magadascar 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.
Press the dough balls flat to about 1/2 inch and then bake.

Just made chocolate crinkle cookies today, though mine were with gluten. Love your photo – the crackles are what make these cookies so special and in your photos they really look crackly:)
Thank you so much Laura 🙂
Yum, thanks for sharing!
Yum, I love mint chocolate! My boyfriend’s family always made crinkle cookies for Christmas, I’ll have to make these next year!
Sounds delish!
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? 🙂 The combo of chocolate and mint always reminds me fondly of Andes. YUM. Pinning, of course! xo
I am happy to send some…will need to perfect these without eggs for you though. What egg substitute do you use most?
A gluten free thin mint? I’m in! I like the texture and size even better!
I like how you think 🙂
These look so good! Chocolate and mint are always a good combo!
Thank you Emily 🙂
These cookies are SPEAKING TO ME!!! Whoa baby! So delicious! I love mint chocolate. Not chocolate alone but MINT CHOCOLATE is a heck yes!
Thank you so much Gigi.
Mint everything!!! it’s always been one of my favorite flavors, but I’ve never attempted a cookie with it, this is so exciting!!! And gluten free to boot!
I hope you enjoy it Amanda 🙂
You just brought me back to my childhood–my mom used to make crinkle cookies ALL the time! These look beautiful, and just like my mom’s!
Awww, thank you Ricki. I am happy to bring back wonderful memories.
I love how thick those cookies look–YUM!
Thanks Megan 🙂
The texture of those crinkles looks so perfect Sandi! I always love the consistency of this type of cookie – it’s a great year-round, special occasion treat.
Thank you so much Alisa 🙂
I have got to try out crinkle cookies! I have never had one and they look tasty!
They are definitely worth it Amanda 🙂
chocolate + mint = everything! so good!
Agreed 🙂
I love the chocolate and mint combination! These look incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Elle 🙂
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.
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
Could I use regular brown rice flour mix in place of almond flour? I make my own mix and find almond flour too expensive.
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.
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 🙂
Thank you Michelle 🙂
I am loving everything about this recipe!! Looks so good and I’m gluten free!! YEAH! I’m printing this one now!
I hope you enjoy it Amanda 🙂
These look delicious! About how many cookies do you get from one batch?
Hi Meredith, I ended up with about 16 cookies. Take care, Sandi
Wow these look delicious! And so festive 🙂 Perfect for a cookie exchange!
Thank you Liz 🙂
