Chocolate crinkle cookies are soft, fudge-like cookies with a generous coating of icing sugar.
The name “Crinkle” refers to how the powdered sugar shows the cracks(crinkles) as the cookies bake, showing a bit of chocolate cookie here and there giving it a cracked look, hence the name crinkle cookies.
I have already tried a version of chocolate crinkle cookies with eggs so wanted to try an eggless one. So here I am with this easy recipe with curd as an egg substitute. Compared to other christmas cut out cookies there are not time consuming the only time it takes is to chill.
About Eggless Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
- Flour mix: First the flour is added (here I have used wheat flour) along with baking powder,and salt. Sieve it well , now the flour mix is ready.
- Cocoa mix: In another mixing bowl sieve cocoa powder. Add curd,sugar and oil mix well to form a smooth flowing mixture.
- Batter : Add flour mix and make a batter. It will resemble cake batter but thick in consistency. Refrigerate atleast for 2 hrs.
- Shape and Coat: Now shape the cookies into balls, coat with generous amount of icing sugar.
- Bake : Finally bake the cookies and enjoy.
How to substitute egg in a cookie recipe:
There are many egg substitutes like namely curd,flaxe seed meal, banana,apple sauce etc.
- Curd : 1/4 cup curd = 1 egg
- Flax seed powder : 1 tablespoons flax seed meal + 3 tablesspoons water = 1 egg
- Baking powder : 1 teaspoon baking powder + 1.5 tablespoon oil + 1.5 tablespoon water = 1 egg
- Baking soda : 1 tablespoon baking soda + 1 tablespoon vinegar = 1 egg
- Banana : 1/4 cup mashed banana = 1 egg
These are egg subtistutes that works best for cookies. I have used curd here which I feel is the easier available option.
Variations to Eggless Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
- I have used wheat flour here but you can use regular white flour too.
- Incase if you want a vegan option use banana or apple sauce replacing curd.
- I used homemade icing sugar but you can replace it with regular powdered sugar too.
Storage
These cookies after baking keeps well for about a week. But the cookie dough freezes well. You can cling wrap it and and refrigerate it upto 1 month. Remove, shape and bake them as you want.

Notes
- Chilling the dough is a must so that handling the dough is easy otherwise its very messy. Also the texture will vary. I chilled it only for 2 hrs but more the time more the firm the dough will be and its easy to handle too.
- You can chill the dough for 4 - 6 hrs or even overnight.
- Use generous coating of icing sugar to get the perfect cracked look.
- I used spoon to roll the cookies and I recommend using it. As the moisture from our hand will make the dough more loose.
- If it takes time then take a smaller batch scoop out and roll while you do this let the other batch sit in fridge.
Use thick curd. If you use watery runny curd then the mixture will become even more goey.
