What Is A Crinkle Cookie?

Crinkle cookies have soft centers with crisp cracked edges. When baking, the tops of the crinkle cookies begin to dry out, resulting in a cracked surface. Coating the cookies with sugar helps draw out moisture from their surface, also accentuates the cracks for a \"crinkled effect\"

Can These Cookies Be Made Ahead Of Time?

Yes! Measure and roll the cookie dough into balls. Line the cookie dough balls up on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. The raw dough can be frozen for up to three months.

How To Store The St Patrick\'s Day Cookies

Store baked cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 3 to 4 days. To freeze already baked cookies: Let the cookies cool completely. Transfer them into an airtight container or a freezer bag with the air squeezed out. (I love my foodsaver for this.) Place sheets of parchment paper between the layers of cookies. For best results, use within 3 months.

Can You Make Cake Mix Cookies With Cool Whip?

Yes, there is an old cake mix cookie hack that a reader shared with me. You can substitute one of the eggs and oil for an 8 oz container of cool whip. I tried it and they were great!

Why Are My Cookies Flat?

A couple of reasons you might have flat cookies. Did you skip the chilling time? Cold cookie batter has less of a chance to flatten when cooking. If baking more than one batch, make sure your cookie sheet has time to cool. A warm cookie sheet will lead to flatter cookies. Using melted butter instead of oil will lead to a flatter crispier cookie.
