Essential Ingredients for Making Protein-Rich Brownie Crinkle Cookies
- 450g Upcycled Protein Brownie Mix
- 3 Fresh Eggs
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 cup Water
- Powdered Sugar (for rolling)
Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Crinkle Cookies
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the sustainable brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and a thick dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight. This chilling time helps enhance the flavor and texture of the cookies.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the powdered sugar in a wide bowl, as it will be used for rolling the cookies.
- Roll the cookies: Once the dough is chilled, use a rounded teaspoon to scoop out clumps of the dough. Roll each clump into 1-inch (2.5 cm) sized balls using your hands. As you roll the dough balls, drop them into the powdered sugar bowl, coating them evenly. The dough may be sticky, so rolling it in batches helps manage the stickiness.
- Place on baking sheets: After rolling the dough balls in powdered sugar, place them on the prepared baking sheets spaced a few inches apart. You should be able to fit 12 to 16 cookies on each sheet, depending on their size.
- Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies at 350°F for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops are cracked. Allow the cookies to cool for a minute or two on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the baking process with any remaining dough.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the Born Again Brownie Crinkle Cookies are completely cooled, serve them on a platter or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. These protein-rich cookies pair perfectly with our coffee-infused treats for a delightful snack any time of day.
