Ingredients

For the crinkles:

  • 190 g (1 ½ cup, spoon and leveled) all-purpose flour
  • 12 g (2 tbsp) cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 130 g (½ cup + 2 tbsp) white sugar
  • 70 g (¼ cup + 1 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 7.5 ml (½ tbsp) milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 30 ml (1 tbsp) red food coloring (start at ½ tbsp and then add more if needed)

For the cream cheese filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar or more if desired
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

For the crinkles:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and white sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add the vanilla, milk, vinegar, and red food coloring, and mix until combined.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until everything is incorporated.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Once the dough is firm, scoop about 1 tbsp and roll into balls.
  9. Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar until they’re fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 9-10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
  11. Remove from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  12. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely before filling.

For the cream cheese filling:

  1. In a bowl, add the softened cream cheese and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
  2. Add powdered sugar and salt. Mix again.
  3. Keep adding and mixing the powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Now, grab a crinkle, spread that heavenly cream cheese filling on top, and then sandwich it with another crinkle. Repeat and enjoy!
