Eggless Chocolate Crinkle Cookies | Vegan Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Step-wise picture recipe to make easiest and extremely delicious Christmas special Eggless Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. These chocolate crinkle cookies are vegan and perfect for this Christmas!

So I am off work this week and the next, on a well-deserved break after running around the entire year endlessly. I am spending some time with my family to begin with and then plan on relaxing at home for ushering in the new year. While I so wanted to take a break from blogging, I also wanted to share a couple of Christmas recipes and the first one is Eggless Chocolate Crinkle Cookies.

I have been fascinated by Crinkle Cookies since a couple of years but never got around making them. This year I finally gave them a try and ended up making an eggless, vegan version that turned out so perfect. This is a recipe adapted from my eggless banana chocolate bread, I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour, to turn these cookies slightly healthier. These Eggless Chocolate Crinkle Cookies were absolutely amazing, what with the snowy effect of sugar coating on top.

Eggless Chocolate Crinkle Cookies get their name from the fact they get crinkles while baking, resulting in a contrasting black and white combination. I used mashed banana in the place of eggs and of late, it has been my most favorite egg replacer. With rich cocoa powder and icing sugar on top, these were close to eggless brownies (no other better way to explain the flavor) and these chocolate crinkle cookies are crisp on the outside and soft, cake-like and fudgy on the inside.

The husband brought a batch of these vegan Christmas cookies to work and they apparently vanished in no time at all. Now whats more rewarding to the cook?! 🙂 It is absolutely optional to roll these in sugar powder but whats the fun in making Christmas cookies that don’t look Christmasy, is it?

Recipe Notes

• I used ripe Robusta bananas to make the mash. The cookies are not very sweet in spite of being rolled in powdered sugar.
• Adjust the cookie baking time from 10-15 mins, not more than that as the cookies can go hard.
• If the cookie dough should be used immediately, freeze it for 30 mins. Alternatively, the dough can be rested upto 24hrs in the fridge.
