Ingredient Notes
King-Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour: I only recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure Flour for this recipe and most of my other gluten-free cookies like my Vegan Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies. It is easy to find and has a great flavor and texture!
Non-Dairy Butter: I used Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks.
Natural Cocoa Powder: I love Ghirardelli cocoa powder, but use what you have. And do not substitute Dutch-processed cocoa powder for this recipe!
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Adding some chocolate chips to these Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Crinkles Cookies makes them extra chocolatey!
Granulated Sugar and Powdered Sugar: The cookie dough is rolled in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar. This helps the powdered sugar stay white through baking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the non-dairy butter and sugar until well combined and flufffy.
Then, add non-dairy milk and vanilla and mix on low until combined.
Step 2. Next, add King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix on low until the dough is formed.
Then, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir to distribute.
Step 3. Use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop a dough ball into a bowl with granulated sugar in it.
Completely coat the ball with granulated sugar, then transfer it into a bowl with powdered sugar and completely coat it with powdered sugar.
Step 4. Transfer to a lined baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining cookie dough, being sure to leave at least 2 ½ inches between each cookie.
Then, bake the Vegan Gluten-Free chocolate Crinkle Cookies one tray at a time in a 350* F oven for 13-15 minutes.

Expert Recipe Tips
Rolling the cookie dough in granulated sugar first helps the powdered sugar stay white for a nicely contrasting crinkle on these Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies!
I do not recommend any other brand of gluten-free flour for this recipe. They all bake and taste differently!
And do not use Dutch-processed cocoa powder in this recipe! It doesn't react the same way with baking soda and that's how the crinkles are formed.
