Tips and Tricks
Switch up the color of the sugar
We made this beautiful pink powdered sugar with some dried fruits and flowers. Well, you can do the same again, but with dried strawberries, blueberries, butterfly pink flower, or violets! That way, you can have purple, blue, and red cookies, as well! The cookies will also be infused with different aromas and flavors, which will make every crinkle cookies special!
Bump up the flavors
The only way to make these crinkle cookies even more delightful? Well, as we mentioned above, switching vanilla extract for a vanilla bean is one of the best ways to make these cookies even more memorable. Another thing you can do is slip some chocolate chips or even melted chocolate in the cookie batter. This will enhance the cocoa and make the cookies a bit more chewy and soft.
