brief history of crinkle cookie,

Did you know that a crinkle cookie is an American cookie? The famous cookie is an original Betty Crocker recipe. The flavours of this traditional cookie vary, but the chocolate one is a holiday classic. 

I highly recommend eating them when they are slightly cooled but still warm. There is nothing more satisfying than a warm chocolate crinkle cookie melting in your mouth. Especially with a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows. YUM! Need more holiday cookie recipes? Check out our popular gluten-free chai spiced thumbprint cookie or grain-free gingerbread cookie
