Crinkle Cookies

Hello y’all! Try our delicious and easy crinkle cookies. This dessert is very easy and fun to make. As always, we would love to see and hear from you about how your own delicious creation tag us on our social media or post in the comments below. 

Since this is one of my first recipes, I thought I'd start with one of my favorite desserts that I make. They’re called crinkle cookies and for good reason, you will see with the pictures provided they look crinkled. Don't let that deter you! They are super easy to make and taste great. I make these year round and for added fun, I change the food coloring. I typically use colors to correspond with the holiday or time of the year for example red and green on Christmas and pastels on Easter.

These are perfect for potlucks, birthdays, holidays, or just a fun weekend with the family. You name it and these are probably perfect for that event. I've never had anyone be disappointed when I bring them and in fact, people ask me to make them.

My Crinkle Cookies are sweet, light, and fluffy. I hope you love them as much as my family does!
