Sorry I have been AWOL. Everything that happened last week was unexpected. I was doing my regular BM and Bake-a-thon with so much enthusiasm but I had to skip the final week. I am ready with all the dishes, but I have no time to write a post. I am still not back to my routine life and it may take another 15 to 20 days for that. But I don’t want to miss blogging too. So I have decided to squeeze in the blogging with the already busy schedule.
On the day I baked these cookies, I baked totally five dishes. I had to leave to my home town and after finishing the dishes, I planned on posting it from my place. But all my plans went through the door when my FIL had to be hospitalized. I am back to Madurai now and we are juggling between home and hospital. I am so grateful that Sruti is on her holidays so I have one thing less to worry about. As I check my messages, I was shocked to find that there are some 4 dozen queries waiting for me to be answered. I took an hour to finish with them. And I badly wanted to get back to blogging. So here I am back with these yummy crinkle cookies.
I have made videos in both English and Tamil demonstrating the recipe. Do take a look, like, comment and subscribe to both the channels. Thank you!
When I first made crinkle cookies, I failed badly. Though the taste was good, it didn’t have that effect on top. I read a lot about the crinkle cookies before attempting them again. I made three types of crinkle cookies that day and I was so happy with all the three. The first important point to be noted is the dough needs to be chilled for 4 hours. When you shape it, it should be firm enough. And while rolling the dough in icing sugar make sure to coat it generously and make it fast. Some times the moisture in the dough will be absorbed by the icing sugar and the final cookies will not have that cracked effect. So be quick while shaping the cookies. Have the oven readily preheated before removing the dough from oven. This recipe is oil based. The other two recipes I made are butter based, but I didn’t find too much difference between them.

Lovely blogs.. To startup learning…
Hello ma’am i have tried these cookies…Bt wen i took out the dough after 4 hrs frm fridge it was not the way it is in the picture unlikely it ws like a cake better in the frozen form so i baked it as a cake bt it did not come out as cookies plzzz suggest where did I went wrong in following the recipe…
Thanks…
I think you did some mistake while mixing the dough. The consistency of the dough is very important..
Ma’am the white sugar should be a powdered sugar or granulated n i used brown sugar in place of the sugar u mebtioned in recipe in the same quantity….

I used granulated sugar.
Beautiful looking crinkle cookies …bookmarked to make!
My batter went runny, I used the exact measurements, I used granulated white sugar. What should I do mam ?
There must be some problem with the measurements. Add more flour to the dough.
Hi ma’am,
Your receipe us amazing…my son loved these cookies…I have one question I have Murphy Richard 52L otg on which mode I need to bake…
Like both elements should be on or only bottom rod…I bake cake on bottom rod
As my cookies turn very soft
Hi, always bake with both filaments on. You will get perfect results.
Nice receipe, came out perfect. Can you suggest what to do with the left over icing sugar-corn flour mix.
I usually refrigerate it and use it in my next batch of cookies.
The batter was runny and didn’t form. Into firm balls. I added more maida, however it didn’t hold.
Try refrigerating the dough and scoop out balls from the dough. Check whether you have used the same measuring cup as mine. I use a 200 ml cup.
Hi Gayathri, thank u for this recipe. I wanted to check if we can use any other flour for this? Like ragi, jowar or even wheat..?? Please do reply.
You can try wheat flour, just reduce flour quantity by 1 tbs. Not sure about gluten free flours.
Thank you much. I will try with wheat flour.
Hi Mam
Can I replace oil with butter
Yes, you can definitely use butter instead of oil. Use same quantity of melted butter.
